Death of the animals. All death, according to Genesis, came as a result of Adam and Eve's sin. If they evolved from animals, then those animals had died before Adam and Eve messed up.There's a careful examination taken to figure out how each book of the Bible was meant. The wording of Genesis already puts it into the needed criteria for a literal book of the Bible, and numerous other factors come into place that confirm this classification. I read a lot about this when I was witnessing to someone about the literal wording of Genesis a while back.

No book is totally metaphoric, but some have aspects or pieces that are, but the Bible makes it clear when something represents something else.
