I've never met anyone irl who took Genesis literally. Even in RE class at my (Roman Catholic) school we were taught that it was written to be metaphorical.
The last head teacher we had before I left was a Science teacher and an RE teacher. He was a Polish Catholic (they're very religious) and if anyone tried to confront him with "How can you be a scientist and religious?" he would explain that to him, science explains how God did things. Like, God created all things, and science is the explanation of the methods it uses. If a person insists on clinging to their religion, I think this is a great way to follow a religion and accept most of reality at the same time. It's as close to logic as religion can get, imo.
