Greetings @gavvet.
Thank you for posting. One should delve further in the scriptures indeed....just as you have pointed out....there is no specific reference to three kings etcetera.
There is a spiritual gift given to pastor/teachers....the greek word 'presbuteros' for pastor/teacher........to teach a congregation. The pastor/teacher we should seek would be that one whose teaching is based on the ICE principle.
ICE standing for isagogoical...categorical...exegetical teaching that we may indeed have a correct interpretation. Principle.....there can be no correct interpretation without a correct translation.

The link provided is a site which holds all the studies of the late R.B.Thieme who spent many years in the Greek and Hebrew languages studying the scriptures.
As you are seeking answers regarding creation....the link is specifically for the booklet regarding creation. You may be pleasantly surprised at his findings and encouraged to know of one so educated and true to the Word as found in the original languages......a far different story than that found in the KJV....just as you have alluded to in this post.
Cheers.
Thank you for your support.
