Don't think all day
Dive in to work
Drive the other way
That drip of hurt
That pint of shame
Goes away, just play the game.

A hallucination is a fact, not an error.

So you take Christianity more as a philosophy than an almanac for the physical and spiritual universe?

No, I don't think the Bible was ever meant to be a science textbook, if that's what you mean. Most scholars that I've read, for example, state that the biblical account of creation was allegorical--simply based upon the writing style of those first three chapters.

How are we to know what is allegorical and what is not?

Like I said, it was in the writing style of that particular section. There are plenty of resources out there to dig that stuff up, commentaries and so on. For example, Bible Gateway has a few decent enough resources.
