I am Christian and the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil are NOT literal trees. So I would have to agree in part not all things are literal. These trees are used figuratively because one can study the horticulture of a tree, how it functions to grasp the point being made.

Did Moses REALLY strike a rock to get water out?

Did God REALLY rain down fire and brimstone on Sodom?

Did His finger REALLY write on stone tablets and a wall?
