That is the fundamental problem just there. It may be a metaphor and people interpret how they like for their own agendas, whatever they may be.
Then that leads to lunatics telling people the Earth is 6000 years old, people used to live to 1000 years old and other such rubbish.
Or we could base our understanding of everything on a what can be proven repeatedly, whether that is by empirically, mathematically or by deduction (or a combination of all three, which is usually the case).
There can be no confusion with facts, there is no need for metaphors, they belong in poetry.
