I believe that the bible should be taken literally because God says that everyone is open to his grace. You don't have to be very itellectual to understand the bible. For example the very first verse of the bible. 'In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.' this tells us that there was a beginning, there is a God and he created the Heavens and the Earth.
If you don't take the bible literally, how do you determine what is true or happened to what is just a metaphor.
If God created the world in billions of years why does his word, the bible say that he created it in six days. Gods not a liar.
