Not Genesis? How about The Flood? Sodom/Gomorrah? Virgin birth? Healings? Ressurrections? Water-to-wine? Jesus as Lord? Ressurection of Jesus? Jesus ascending? Any of Revelations?
All of these things are spoken of very plainly in the bible. Why are some literal, but not all?
Meatball, I think you'll find that the bits which have been categorically disproven, are to be taken as metaphor and allegory. Anything science hasn't got to yet - did actually happen. (until science gets round to it, and then they're not to be taken literally either).
