The Bible is a couple thousand chapters long. The creation story is the first two chapters. It's pretty obviously only attempting to establish that God created the universe in some ambiguous way and move on with the story. That doesn't stop people from inferring all sorts of things from what is essentially a poem.

It's literally a poem in the original language.

So you are saying when the Bible says Jesus died for our sins, it doesn't mean he actually died, it's only a metaphor.

I know it's tough to pay attention for four whole sentences but if you read them again slowly I think you'll see that I did not use the words Jesus, sin, or metaphor in any form which should make it pretty clear that, no, I'm not saying that at all.

I cant believe you just said that Virgin Mary was an inside joke, and every one knew Mary, and like I mean knew her.

The joke is inside Virgin Mary if you get my drift

You handwaved away glaring inaccuracy in what is purported to be the word of God with "it's just a few paragraphs before the story".

If you get to pick and choose what is truth, then anyone else can do it too.
