Theists: what does your god want for you?

[Darkstar]

You are assuming Genesis, which has two accounts, is meant to be taken literally.

Why would part of an otherwise literal book be allegorical, and not even specified as such. (i.e. we know Jesus's parables aren't supposed to be literal, but one would have to infer that Genesis was allegorical)
And if the answer is somewhere along the lines of it being too unusual or contradictory to science to be literal, than that would apply to most of the book.
