I am simply pointing out that there are various creation stories. The usual responses to my posts may be paraphrased as "my creation story is better than your creation story."

Do you think that evolutionary theory is just another creation "story"?

A long time ago there was a hot soup on the earth. One magical day some of the dirt in the soup became alive! It grew and grew and grew until one day it turned into a fish! Then it turned into a dinosaur! Then it turned into a bird! Then it turned into a monkey! Then it turned into a man! Man was too stupid for a long time to know where he came from. Then one day a great man took a voyage on a ship and came to an island. On the island were many different animals. The man imagined how these animals could have come to be and wrote a book. Others read his book and said "How wonderful this book is! Let us teach it in our schools to our children. And that, my children, is how we came to be.

Apparently in many cases he still is. At any rate, you summarize the story of evolution well. Keep it out there and maybe it will grow legs. Er, never mind. It already has! I gather evolutionists have each their own story at some point or another since they have no text or authority other than their own reason and experience to guide them.
