The Bible also isn’t meant to be real. It’s a compendium of stories all put into one book, with tons of different writers. It’s akin to The Odyssey and shouldn’t be taken literally. Zeus didn’t come to Earth as a golden shower to impregnate Danae, and Jesus didn’t come back from the dead. They’re just fables.

Oh the Bible is definitely meant to explain things. It explains things through a different world view from a different time.

The Bible is historical too:
When Moyses drowned the Egyptians (Old Testament which Jews held and kept sacred)
When Jesus, Mary & Joseph took refuge in Egypt (New Testament which Christians hold and keep sacred)
In the first example, we learn that Egyptians used chariots (even far back in the time of Moyses).

'Satan' is part of your name, so I guess you know who he was, and who he is now.
'Satan' is opposed to the coming of Christ (the reason for all those genealogies).
'Satan' would do everything to make people forget why Christ came.
'Satan' would make Christmas (we all have our birthdays) to seize.
'Satan' wants people to believe that Christ is like Zeus and Mary like Diana (profligate).

But you should know that Satan is a fallen angel.

    Disciplines or fields or occupations (Doctors, lawyers, pilots, engineers, photographers, cartographers etc.)
    I love science. What do you want to talk about?
    Is it not wonderful what we are able to accomplish with 0s and 1s (by the grace of God)?

In the Old Testament, you'll always see genealogies of key person being discussed to Adam (the first man).
In the New Testament, the genealogy is from Jesus Christ to Adam (in Matthew, Mark, Luke, Acts and by Paul I think).
Zeus and Diana (profligate) were humans. But pagans deify their rulers.
Let me make a second post...
