No figurative language in the creation account??? "tree of life, tree of knowledge of good and evil, serpent, flaming sword??? See Revelation 22- for who the tree of life represented, if the tree of life represented Jesus (Is their any other tree we can eat from and live forever?), What did the tree of knowledge of good and evil represent and what about the flaming sword?

There were actual trees, an actual serpent, and an actual flaming sword, just as there were an actual Adam and Eve. They may prefigure certain things, but that doesn't make them into mere metaphors. Otherwise, do you think the entire Tabernacle didn't exist? Unlike the Book of Revelation, Genesis is not an apocalyptic text.
