Of course. However, neither should you simply choose to not believe something is literal just because you do not think it aligns with something extra-biblical - for example, modern science. You should determine whether it is literal or not [strictly] from the 'grammar of the language' (which includes cultural and other aspects concerning the writer, the time it was written, etc.) - and, the rest will take care of itself. And, the first rule of discernment/interpretation is - if the 'grammar of the language' does not give you a reason why it is not literal - it is literal.
It helps greatly if you know how to discern whether something in a passage of scripture is literal or not. (And, it seems that there are relatively few.)
I would create a thread to teach others how to do this properly - but - I know how that would end up...
The only way I would do that is with an invite-only PM with certain others who I knew were serious about learning something from my experience.
I do not see how that is; however, my intent is not so much to make any 'accusations' as it is to simply "tell it like I see it"...
