Also, the Bible is filled with allegories and metaphors, so why is it so hard to believe this is one of them?
Because when it's convenient to their argument, Christians use the same conventions everyone else does. It's only when certain passages are challenged they revert to claiming "god's time is not our time". I know of no passage from the Bible that states how god supposedly measures time. The only passages that allude to that were penned by men trying to cover the glaring inaccuracies of the creation story. Those passages make the excuse that to god a day is as a thousand years, but that would mean that god measures time using the same scale we do. That's obviously nonsense in that he supposedly performed acts on certain "days" before he got around to creating the mechanisms that delineate days and nights.
