I'm not talking about whether or not the Bible should be symbolic and metaphorical in GENERAL, I'm talking specificly about the creation of man, how parallels can be drawn from both theories.

The Bible shouldn't even be metaphorically.
Religious apologetics like to say it's metaphorical when they concede that some things in it can't possibly be true. But really, what lessons do you learn of Lot's incest with his daughters or Abraham and his Wife's ploy to damn the Pharaoh, or all the different examples of people sacrificing small girls rather than endangering fully grown men and stoning people for petty sins, other than not to be a complete douche like them? If the false stories of the Bible serve any purpose, even metaphorically, they show that you should not do as the Biblical prophets do. Some of the supposed 'heroes' of the Bible set some terrible examples. |

I agree with you on the "seven days" thing. People who take the Bible literally word for word are idiots. I took the Bible word for word when I was like, 6 years old (apparently I didn't know "A land flowing with milk and honey" was a metaphor and the town wasn't literally so flooded with milk and honey that they needed boats to get around).
