No they are not, but they contain parables. I was referring to the creation story itself, which is parable, not history, or law, ect... Matt 13:34-35, "Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:

“I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”[Psalm 78:2]

The crowd consists of all the Generations who would ever read, or hear any of what was taught by God. That includes the creation story.
