Or do you think the Bible must be a blend of all three, stories, metaphors, types and shadows.

Jesus taught in parables, are most of the bible stories parables to teach us spiritual truths? but not to be taken literally?
Which Bible?

Since the bible says the first man was Adam, I would say it was not man before Adam, but perhaps the angels who fell with Lucifer?
