The uncomfortable truth is the massive amount of evidence that contradicts the bible version of creation. There is massive amounts of evidence for the process of evolution acting over many billions of years. Science can describe the mechanism of evolution to a certain extent but it can not explain why there is life. What the evidence does, categorically, is contradict the young earth creation story of the bible. The theory of evolution does not preclude the possibility of intelligent design but it does preclude the biblical account, taken literally. To dismiss that evidence is willful blindness to facts of reality.

There are many brilliant men and scientists who disagreed and do disagree with evolution as a mechanism capable of creating new genetic material required for life to climb from slime to higher animals and man.

Why did Jesus Christ die on the cross?

Is the story of Noah just a myth?

Were the Hittites just a myth?

Was writing not invented until after Moses?

Was King David just a myth?

Was Mary a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus?

Did Jesus heal the sick and raise the dead (Lazarus)?

Did Jesus Christ rise from the dead?

What nation has had the most Christian Bible fundamentalists in the history of the world?

Is morality a mere social construct without anything more authoritative supporting it than the purposeless evolution of the mind of man?

Why is it "uncomfortable" to recognize that the story presented in Genesis is a creation myth?

No, there is no such evidence. Coming out with a blanket statement like that means that one is either a “scientist” that is attempting to hold up dogma or one has not studied the matter to any significant depth.

Only by reference to certain unverifiable metaphysical assumptions.

"Uniformity of causes in a closed system" and all that.

Cheers!
