I should clarify myself. I believe all of the passages that don't have strong reason to be taken allegorically, are literal. Passages like Genesis 1-11 are written in a very literal way, but most people today take them as allegorical. When AI is trained on literal and allegorical passages where there is no disagreement and then asked if Genesis 1-11 is literal, it says literal. Jesus and the disciples refer back to Genesis 1-11, creation, Adam & Eve, and the global flood and consider them literal. There is zero textual reason to take them allegorically.
Revelation is harder. There are images, like the harlot on a red beast, that are clearly meant to be taken allegorically. I, however, think that much of the prophecies described in Revelation will be fulfilled literally. As technologies are created that make these predictions possible, I become more an more convinced of this reality.
