Another thought -- since God is all-powerful and omniscient, since God is awesome beyond our comprehension, and since God doesn't have to justify a blessed thing to us (see Job for more details), why would you believe that a trans-human divinity would drop a literal text on us? Why would God feel the need to give us something so basic, so rudimentary, that all we need to do is connect the dots and do as little contemplation as possible? Does that sound like an omniscient being to you?
I never said it was literal. The bible is a big puzzle worth decoding.
