Not only is it hard to take a literalist view of genesis, but genesis itsself doesn't really mesh well with the other stories of the old testament. They don't really make any indication that Yahweh is an all knowing, all present deity.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
