Recognition that the Bible frequently teaches truth through metaphor isn't rejection of God's word.
Do you believe that God reached to the ground, picked up some dust in his hands, and molded it into a man?
Do you believe a man that was beaten half to death by Roman soldiers, crucified, and stabbed in the heart with a spear just to make sure.......came back from the dead after three days and walked through a wall to say hi to his friends and let them know he was okay....among other things?
Doesn't every reasonable person?
If you are going to be a Christian, you have to.....its pretty fundamental. Where I was going with all that was that if you are going to believe the crucifixion-resurrection narrative, why is it such a stretch to believe that God made man out of the dust of the earth?
