They're entertaining. A bronze age collection of Hebrew folk tales does not disprove science and does not dictate how others live.

@Crazywaterspring Well, Gen chapters 1-11 and Job are the oldest parts, and so more likely to contain mythic elements.
That explains why the second creation story is likely a Mesopotamian creation story, and why the "God" in Job is like a pantheistic god like Zeus.
From Ch 12 in Genesis, scholars note small factual elements preserved which make most believe Abram/Abraham was real.
