When it says it’s allegory, such as in Galatians 4:24, it’s allegorical.

When the symbols are explained, such as in many of the parables, it’s allegorical.

If there is a valid reason for believing Genesis is allegorical and there is a coherent explanation of the symbolism, I’d love to hear it. (Atheistic philosophy labeled “science” isn’t a valid reason.)
