If so you never read the Book of Job. Everything that GOD said was symbolic or metaphoric. An obvious display of literary artistics and lack of knowledge about science and the Universe...
Or, of course, mabye you are right. Mabye the wind really does come from a barn in the sky.

The Bible should never be taken literally
I beg to differ with the answer of the first person who answered your question.
God had the bible in a figurative text because if it wasn't it would be like spoon feeding already. If the Bible wasn't figurative at all then what is to discover for? What is to live for if all of us knows already what is to do, to expect and to live for.
Our life here on earth is all about discovery.
Our life here on earth is a TEST, if we really deserve God's kingdom.
The only thing that should be our basis for living is
"Is what i am doing or shall do glorify God?"
May you have a blessed day
and
Advance Happy New year to you!

I take the Bible as the literal Word of God. Allegories are explained if you just look to find them. Years of studying the Bible leaves you years of studying yet to be done. The Bible is written for the uneducated and the educated. God has no lack of knowledge about science and the universe because He created it all. You receive not because you ask not. Ask God for the knowledge about unanswered scientific questions.

When rightly divided, yes it can be taken literally. As far as science, I do not find errors in the Bible.

He who created the universe knows nothing about the universe? In job, the scripture said the earth is spherical, science said it was flat. Later years, it came to realise what the first book to be written long declared.
Read the bible to be wise, my dear friend

It should be studied as a culturally significant, partly historic, partly allegorical, but mostly fictional account of life as lived by one particular civilization in one part of the world approximately two thousand years ago.

No..the Bible is layers of "Revealed information" Gods' mind and Heart are contained within the Spirit of it's contents..and, as one grows and matures in the Lord, he adds more through "un-covering more of these layers" and this is what is ment by."Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by a Word of God (Christ) " (Living Word of God ) but, he follows His own Word..he doesn't cast his pearls before swine either...."Peace!"
