As I said, the story of Jesus may or may not be true, but there is no denying that it is written quite differently from Genesis. Jesus was actively and inspiredly going out and taking action, whereas the story of Genesis is written without much detail, and with more emphasis on prose and poetic form. This hints that Genesis is meant to be taken allegorically.
Not only that, the point of the entire story of Jesus is faith. Regardless of whether or not it happened, it is perfectly within God's power to return someone from the dead. That is part of the message of the ressurection, among other things.
But how do you know that God is real!? Please answer me.
