It certainly gives some credence to the story in my mind, but not entirely in the context of what might be the general perceived.

Depends on whether you're following a superficially preconceived interpretation or trying to make up your own mind, doesn't it? The popular negative view is that Adam and Eve are merely a figment of the church to keep the people compliant and to justify the Ten Commandments, for example, or to vividly recount the Fall of Man. People have learnt to reject religion and this is very much in vogue among those who describe themselves as non-Christians. On the other hand, the self-conception with which people judge relationship fraud among couples is based on Christian values.

What I mean by that is the metaphorical is always how I have viewed many writings, despite many/most interpreting as a literal con-text

I wouldn't know. My own estimation on this is that there are not many fundamentalists among Christians who take the biblical stories in a literal sense.

I don't really know anyone personally though, who has attempted a written interpretation of Genesis or any other biblical story. So I found this idea appealing to try it myself.

Christianity and what came out of it may have been something much more profound than what we give it credit for today.
