You apparently don't like Creationism being included as a mythology.

No, I do not. Because it is not. And all other believers should feel the same way.

The problem is which version of what I prefer to call Biblical literalism is the one you consider to be unassailable truth. There are quite a number, you know.

You know, many, many people seem to be stuck on this, which version is the 'unassailable truth'? And so because they cannot find the answer, they choose to not believe, instead arguing which version is more correct than another. Man, choose one, and allow God to teach you the truth. I prefer the King James Version, but there are many others out there where you can read about the truth, if you would be so inclined.

Well, I, for one, am not stuck because I can differentiate an act of faith from an argument.

I do not, and have not ever, challenged a person's faith, and if you say that you use thus and so version of the Bible and accept every word and comma literally as an act of faith, you will get no argument from me.

However I will expect you as a courtesy to accept that others' faith may differ and also, if in a classroom that you voluntarily enter, you do not interfere with learning what that class presents. There is an implicit contract there that the instructor will present materials relevant to the description of the course and that the students will not interfere with the basics of that presentation.

No one says you have to agree, but you may not interfere either.
