Whatever stated in the Bible is history and not stories.
Bible = Words of God.
You believed in God, you believed 100% of the Bible because it is the words of God.

Yes.
All Christians believe in the teachings of the Bible are true. Some also believe they are all factual but most do not.
Most Christians do not take the stories of creation in the Bible literally. Catholics believe the book of Genesis tells religious truth and not necessarily historical fact.
One of the religious truths in Genesis is that God created everything and declared all was good.
There is a fundamental difference between truth and fact.
It is true that God exists but I cannot prove it.
It is a fact that President Bush said he invaded Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction but it is not true.
Catholics believe that the Bible teaches truth about God but it is not historically factual at all times.
The Bible's primary purpose is to teach us the truth about God and His (or Her) love for us, not to teach facts about history or science.
All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

With love in Christ.
