You know something about creation, resurrection and flood myths that the rest of us don't, perhaps? New aspects of monotheism in dynastic Egypt? A previously unknown and unanticipated Sumerian translation? New insights on the development of winter solstice myths or agriculture and resurrection myths? And with this wonderful knowledge that you alone possess, rather than share it respectfully with fellow scholars, you would make the profs life miserable. That would be your goal?

I know what the Bible teaches about all this and it surely is not lies. Are you telling me that I should not believe the creation story as written in the Bible? Have you research enough to disprove the story of creation as detailed in the Bible? No you have not. Instead, you choose by your own free will to accept the theories and writings of others who choose to believe anything else but the truth as written in the Bible. Why is it so hard for you to accept the creation story?

How about the global flood, said to have occurred about 4200 years ago. Believe that?

[From many - one.]

Where does belief enter into it?

A course like this goes over the best information we have regarding these subjects.

Just precisely what is your problem with this? Do you want a class that is supposed to study comparisons to confine itself to only one sample?

And, BTW, don't waste any more effort on my personal religion. It's not what you seem to think it is and it's none of your business.
