LOL! Did you know that in the early Christian era, they were denounced by the Roman authorities as Atheists.....for exactly that reason you cited above.

Thank you. The point was intended to be humorous, but it has a serious edge of course. I imagine that you feel completely comfortable about the thousands of creation myths that you reject. I likewise feel comfortable about the almost identical number of creation myths that I reject.

To me, the issue isn't about the numbers of creation stories that are rejected as about the basic premise that is rejected:

A supernatural intervention by God versus no such thing possible.

(BTW, there are some myths that are ignorant: I do not include them. Isn't there one about the earth on the back of a turtle on the back of a turtle, etc., etc.?) (When you end a question with etc., do you replace the period in etc. with the ? mark, or do you add the ? mark after the .?)
