Its not historical but metaphoric:
So when the Bible speaks about a serpent, it is not satan, but a 'metaphorical negative force' according to you.
Yet when Genesis says the earth was created in six days that means all natural science, including physics, chemistry, geology, and biology is wrong because it contradicts your non-metaphorical understanding of the Bible.
So you are the one, according to you, to tell us mere mortals when the Bible is meant to be taken literally and when it is meant to be taken metaphorically.
Yeah I heard that one before, and so has everyone else here.
Watch out for that first commandment, it could burn your ass if you're not careful.
