If I am wrong, they are free to show me a church claimed that those were allegories. I want to see an original print, coming from a top guy at a church.

When did science "come along"? When Aristotle went to do research at the Kolpos Kalloni on Lesbos? That would be before the Christian church was founded. 

Jesus spoke in parables, which he explained in private as allegory. He was kind of an important guy in the church. Paul interpreted Old Testament stories as allegory. He is also considered a "top guy."

Augustine wrote a whole book on not taking the book of Genesis literally. This was about 400 AD.
