Could anyone speak of genes and DNA to the people of the Biblical times? They didn't even know of germs and bacteria. Of course they had to be related to in terms of fairy tales.
I get it that when talking to children about mature subjects, all parents, even God, makes adjustments to bring things to their level...and sometimes even fairy tales. But the news of Santa Claus not being real is different than the linage of God's chosen, including the first Adam being a parable to the Last Adam.
I also get it that the natural (which is first) is a far cry from the spiritual, as a prelude example of being born of the spirit of God as His spiritual children, into a spiritual realm we have no more knowledge of than an unborn babe in the womb has of the outside world.
But the exception is God. He is true, regardless...or the whole thing is a fraud, which it is not.
So...one can bring things up to speed, up to the infinitely more complex level, even talk baby-talk. But one cannot make God untrue. Nor can one take away the parable of the natural and replace it with something scientific. No, the parable is the parable [yes] even if "created" out of a "void" of "light" and "energy." That is to say, one can say it is all just like a movie or a written story fabricated for the purpose of conveying a greater truth composed of nothing of the same sort. But within the internal context of the movie or story, the truth is true according to its own context. Whereas, the subject of that created parable context has its own context as well. Thus, it is wrong to say that
the object verses the subject of a parable is not true. God is true. In this same way, the story is Noah's ark and the entire parable of creation is true in the context of the "object", even if it is not true in the greater truth of the "subject", which is the spiritual kingdom of God. Neither can be dismissed.
In the end, again, God is the exception. Even if such things may appear to be nonsense, as a tale that is told to children; even if one were to take one of the simple parables and say, "See it is just a story to make a point", the words and the truth cannot be changed. In which case, God being true would come back and say, "It is true, because I said so, even if I made it up...because it was I who said it."
