The bible is obviously a metaphor from ancient philosophers on a way to live your life. These were the original philosophers that used stories as a general source to influence humanity to progress. One of the common metaphors used today is Jonah being swallowed by a whale or fish. Most likely it didn't happen but, there is a message in the story.
On the subject of God, I don't really know. I agree with Deathrydar in the sense that "God" doesn't have a black book and making marks. I think ultimately the big bang is more a realistic perspective since randomness seems to be a common creator in our universe. I think they are finding this out more and more with the octonions.
