How and why can you guarantee that? From what we know of civilizations around that time, they didn't take their mythology literally.

Christianity doesn't have the flexibility of its pre-Christian pagan counterparts, who happily absorbed the gods/myths of their neighbors and even at its height, Roman paganism was more about nationalism than it was upholding dogma. Christianity was built upon dogma, throughout the late antique and medieval periods there are numerous councils debating exactly that (not to mention execution of heretics who preached something even minutely dogmatically different). Genesis WAS a literal creation story through the medieval period, if not longer for a majority of Christians (and worth noting, its still literal today).

It seems to me that there's nothing in the Bible that suggests they are not meant to be taken literally, and to say so runs the risk of essentially retconning it.
