Here is a question from a reader:

"Do you believe Genesis....specifically the account of human creation, and the 

world-wide flood of Noah....are a literal and accurate historical account?"

ANSWER:

I believe that the Scriptures contain only Truth (John17:17). I know that

 everything that was written, was written for our instruction. This is especially

 true for those of us upon whom the end has arrived. (Rom.15:4; 1Cor.10:11)

I believe that all the details of those accounts (trees, fruit, days, deluge, ark,

 etc.) are all symbolic lessons which escape the physical man 

(1Cor.2:12,13,14,15,16). 

The lessons contained within the accounts are of surpassing weight than the

 establishing of them as historical. In truth, only Jehovah knows if these things

 physically and historically unfolded as scripturally described, or not. Yet we must

 remember, that God is not a liar (Num.23:19; Rom.3:4). Of what value is it to

 establish these accounts as actual history or not? Is not the value of the

 accounts, within the lessons they provide? If that were not so, they would not

 be contained within the pages of the Bible (2Tim.3:16,17).

Thank you for asking my opinion on this subject. But I hope you have noticed,

 that I do not esteem my opinion so much as to answer from it; but rather I do

 my best to reply from scripture, which is superior to any human opinion. I hope

 you read the scriptures, wherein lies the answer and value of my reply.  

Love,

 Pearl

Here are a couple of examples of the Bible interpreting some of it's own history, regarding the creation account:
