The Bible is compatible with a male dominated, irrational and superstitious view of the world.

I don't think the authors of Genesis did not intended it to be history as we know it, rather it is mythology akin to the Iliad or the Odyssey or even the story of Jason and the Argonauts. Especially given the whole book is full of symbols (The Garden, The Serpent, Tower of Babel, etc). This sort of symbolism is also present in books such as Daniel and Revelation. Some Christians interpret Genesis symbolically rather than literally because recognize the symbolism which is throughout Genesis.

Well that is my $0.02

Because the Bible says whatever people want it to say.

By 'true' as in "literally true"?
