In my opinion, the structure of the
genesis accounts have a strong underlying psychological and

I would consider a false history to be more likely indicative of a false
theology. Saying the theology is true but the history is inaccurate
would lead me to ask what makes you think the theology is any
better?
You don't like talking snakes? How about the Holy Spirit taking on
the bodily shape of a dove at the baptism of Christ? What makes the
NT testimony any more believable than the OT narrative?
