I also believe that the Bible is the literal truth, word for word. Some things were said in parables, but that isn’t a license for us to read whatever we want into it to fit modern secular humanism.

Yes , the creation story for example.
It was a way people with zero sense of science could explain what they saw in nature. God created the universe , evolution was the method He used. It wasen’t literally done in days.
