The idea of a literal or non-literal interpretation of the Bible is a false choice. The Bible is a book of things that are (in every detail) truly and faithfully recorded. Some of those things recorded are cases of peope lying or saying untruths, and some is metaphor or allegory, but all is truly recorded and divinely inspired.
One wonders, for instance, why the Bible has been proved correct over and over by archaeological finds if it’s not a book of real history.
Archaelolical finds do NOT support a worldwide flood as described in Genesis ...
