Ping. Interesting discussion on the NON metaphorical content of Genesis.. Interesting on how the human condition can miss the obvious.. as usual.. Amazing how when presented with "its raining cats and dogs", many run to the window to watch pets falling to the ground.. in essense..

There are indeed many metaphors throughout Scripture - parables, prophesy, numbers, names (such as Nabal and Laban). Genesis 1 is even more challenging though than metaphor - because of the poetry in ancient Hebrew (Ancient Hebrew Research Center)
