Symbolism is the ability to put the thoughts of a 21st century anthropologist/atheist/materialist/skeptic/ whatever/ into a bronze age book.

meaning does not require intent. If you shake my hand and smile, you may intend it to mean that your grandmother is dead, it doesn't matter.

Good luck. I'm sure you won't be deluding yourself. Only symbolists delude themselves, even though Paul himself uses symbolic reading.

No one is doing that. I have tried to show how close Jordan's interpretation is to what someone like St-Gregory of Nyssa said 1700 yrs ago.

Origen said that the Creation story should interpreted symbolically in the 3rd century.

The problem with you is that you think the point of a story is being accurate. Why would anyone pay attention to such a story?
-
No one ever thought that was the point of a story before the 17th century.

Yes, some just do it better x 1000. Example : The Bible.
