"But that's true about all myths. legends, stories we tell."

Yes, but the Creation myths are especially important in that they share so many common themes across cultures. Humanity is created by a Creator, a Creator cares for and nurtures humanity. Humanity messes up. Creator punishes humanity for messing up. Humanity still messes up. Creator sends flood, wipes out whole bunch of humanity. But, humanity still messes up. Creator finally gives us and accepts us with all our defects. So, rather than being Ally McBeal, we discover that we are flawed and broken but we are not alone. We are loved despite our failings.

So, rather than being Ally McBeal, we discover that we are flawed and broken but we are not alone.

Clearly, as we have a Creator who is flawed and broken enough to keep screwing up with its Creation.
