What Rebellion? Fiction is Fiction!
I accept that the bible teaches a moral lesson. A lot of people believe the bible to be nonfiction. Some of its stories could be written in a figurative language. That's why nonbelievers consider it fiction fairytales.
Yeah, the fiction may teach a moral lesson. A moral lesson for whom? I more concern where it comes from.
The Egyptian Book of Coming Forth by Day "The Book Of The Dead" is older than the bible. African historians believe the idea of the Bible comes from this source.

What about the serpent in the Garden of Eden? Why did Eve listen to the serpent? A talking snake in a holy book and it not fiction. That's nonsense!
Keep in mind the story is considered to be allegory fiction. That being the case, then Eve is the serpent talking to herself. This is logical. People talk to themselves all the time.

Did King James write the Bible?
He did commission it, however. James made the project his own after Puritans attended the 1604 Hampton Court Conference and requested a new Bible translation. Forty-seven scholars were enlisted to help, with the archbishop of Canterbury, Richard Bancroft, at their helm. The first edition was published in 1611.

Why is Eve the serpent? It's widely preached that Satan is that serpent. Can you elaborate on your theory about the serpent?
King James Version: Is the word allegory in the bible? Yes!
Galatians 4:21–31:
21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
