There already have been some good answers. The only one I would add is this: passages of the Bible regarding sexuality and the moral code are set forth as laws or commands. The creation story is just that -- a story. So, the question to be raised in whether to take it literally is "is it factually, historically correct."
As I am trying to teach my kids, a story does not have to be true to be True.
BTW, I have yet to meet anyone who really,
completely takes the entire Bible literally, even among those who claim to do so.
