I only ask because there are numerous contradictions and mathematical/historical inaccuracies within the bible - for instance, Genesis is most likely two different stories fused together, as there are completely different (and non-relational) aspects described. It would seem that completely literal interpretation of the bible would become arduous accounting for these - how do you do it?
KSig RC if you are interested in gaining some further insight into the some of the earliest books of the Bible (OT) I'd suggest doing a little reading up of Babylonian myths - I think youl'll find some interesting corelations between early Bibilical stories/accounts/myths and the early myths of the Fertile Crescent.
