As a piece of literature, it contains metaphors and allegories. When the flood came down, the bible says that the doors in the sky let out the rain. Clearly this is a metaphor, as there are NO doors in the sky.
If there is one metaphor, we have to admit that we must look at the whole bible and decide for ourselves what is allegorical, and what is literal. Those who claim that the whole bible being the word of god is completely literal, are really making fools of themselves. How can they take in literally? How do can they take even the garden of Eden literally?
