Which of the Genesis narratives do you accept as literally true, and which do you think are not literal but should be understood in a metaphoric/allegorical sense?

Which of these events do you accept as literally true?

1) Seven days creation of the world and everything thereof
2) Adam&Eve, Garden of Eden, talking snake.
3) The Great Flood of Noah
4) The Jewish sojourn in Egypt, the parting of the Red sea, the wander in the desert for 40 years.
5) Sodom & Gormorah

this is another means for u to discredit the words of the Bible right?

sorry to ruin your fun but its written in the Bible that "a day is like a million years in the sight of the Lord and a million years like a day"

if i might ask of wat use is ur knowledge of which we choose to take literally and others metaphorically?
