Though considering much of the Bible is allegorical and we are talking about the supernatural here, so the explanations anyone tries to give as far as literal interpretations is going to be ludicrous. Like I said before, those trying to use this in their argument are the same ones that will deride those taking the Bible literally in other instances for their positions.Two words...Biblical inerrancy.
The Bible is filled with allegory. Language used to paint a picture that the people can identify with. Using the literal in attempt to either prove or disprove anything is ignorant.
