I've seen on one thread that Death, for Adam and Eve was not the physical death, but separation from God. That would define Death as a metaphor for separation.
Too, there are many literalists claiming that God created the world in 6 days (24 hour periods)
Then I hear that "And then there was light" used to back up the idea that the Bible is supports science, but this makes the creation story metaphor as the sudden appearance of light does not due justice to the largest explosion in the history of history.
So, which is it metaphor, literal, or some mixture of both, and if such, how does one determine which is which?
