Christians will of course agree certain parts are a metaphor or allegory. But the rest? Totally legit. Anything science has explained away? They say science is either lying, or it's a metaphor. You'd think if a book was inspired by someone who created the universe they wouldn't need metaphors.
I don't think it's "just" a metaphor. But it's the metaphor of all metaphors along side the "his name""his word""his light".
