If there is any mystique or mystical meanings to the Bible (esp. Genesis and Revelation) like that, I would prefer to lean toward the theory that it's metaphorical. For some reason, I think it would have to do with being a metaphor for the evolution of the human psyche, and also possibly to do with the issues of birth and death.
