A lot of the Bible is obvious poetry. You can't take a book that's a mix of genres and expect it all to be literal. Adam and Eve were real, though. There had to be a first man and a first woman even from an atheistic perspective. As for Jesus having magic - He's God. Everything was created by him and through him and Christians are supposed to quibble on whether or not he could turn water into wine?If the bible isn't literal than it isn't real. Do you think it's all literal? Adam and Eve, the ark, Jesus having magic?
