Wouldn't accepting that Adam and Eve to be fictional character also mean that the god described in that compendium of books is also fictional?
And fallen nature? Sorry, but how would you demonstrate that?

Fallen nature means that humans have an inclination to sin. A child is taught not to lie, but lying comes rather naturally. Adam and Eve are metaphors for humans being rebellious against God.
God isn't a metaphor for anything else, and I personally don't see natural processes working without a deity.

It seems you are contradicting yourself here. Adam and Eve are metaphor but not the deity who supposedly created them in the very same chapters you said were fiction?
And again, how would you demonstrate the "inclination to sin" when sin is only a guilt concept invented by the abrahamic religion as a mean to hold it's followers under it's power.
Finally, you not seeing how a natural process works without a deity won't remove the fact that natural processes occurs every single moment without any evidence of deities around them.
