First, why should I take the Genesis literally when other parts of the bible are more clearly symbolic in nature? Second, when you said 'literally only' that excludes any symbolic import to the text. Are you saying that no part of Genesis has any symbolic meaning?
There is NO symbolic import to Genesis 1 & 2. Just because symbolism may be used in other parts of the Bible doesn't mean Genesis contains any.
As I recall, I LIMITED my remarks to the CREATION account.
