I take it to be a story of our God. Not by our God. Written by man, for understanding of God. As is with the majority of the Old Testament. For me to say that I believe that it happened word for word, would be an outright lie, and anyone else who could possibly say the same thing, would have to come to that same conclusion. Why? Simple, though there is enough accuracy to prove that it did happen, there is enough distinct differences to prove that it didn't happen just as written. If anyone can prove me wrong, I would love to hear it. First tell me how it can happen just as said, when in fact there are two different accounts of several different stories. I will even accept a logical answer from the most popular story, creation.
