Re: Quote On Abrahamic Creation Story

If the Bible/Quran creation story is true, then every creation myth is true. There are obvious contradictions in all creation myths. A particular Native American tribe believed the world we stand on was created from the heavens with a turtle shell. To some south pacific creation myths spiders created the world and the water is actually the web of the spider gods. The world being created by the excrement of ants according to the West African tribe in the quote has to be right as well. And damn I can do on and on! There are as many creation myths as there are languages (millions of them!).

Not only the contradictions prove all these stories false, but anyone who has studied anthropology has found that man before the invention of science relied on myths and superstition to explain strange phenomenon.

Even if you don't take it literally it doesn't make a difference. I can create a far more logical creation story far better than the Bible. The first creation story is as random as any other.

Just because something is a myth though doesn't mean it is not true. I believe most of the stories in the Bible happened minus the supernatural phenomenon (unless historians proved otherwise by overwhelming proof).
