Well, say I have an orange. It's wrong to call that orange an apple. That's factually, demonstrably wrong.

But it's much, much more wrong to call that orange a suspension bridge.

Both claims are incorrect, but the apple claim is more logical because at least it's in the same ballpark; at least an apple is a fruit. It's possible to pick from two incorrect options and still have one be closer to being correct than the other.

In this specific case, the literal reading of the bible is still wrong, but it's more internally consistent than the metaphorical reading. This ain't hard.
