I too agree that it is a metaphor.
Consider if you create "time", do you see from the view of time? One might agree that an omnipotent being can perceive things from the view of the creation, but if it is something you created to begin with, why view what you made from the limited view of the creation, when you can see the whole picture?
It's a story written from the limited view of a human. To me, it is a metaphorical story using translated words that may or may not be correct, from the view of a man that probably had little understanding of anything beyond day to day living. To take it literally is to take a fairy tale as gospel.
