As superstition? Myth? As being unsupported by science? Do you want a full evaluation, as occurs in science, of, say, the stories of a global flood or the tower of Babel?

Absolutely, all of the above.

I would guess that you would not be happy with the result.

Says who? Guessing without even knowing what I believe? Not very scientific of you, Coyoteman!

I recall my Science teacher outlining evolution theory, and then saying "And some say God did it - discuss!" And discuss we did. I find evolution fascinating, I find attempts at bible proofs fascinating. Back when I was more devout than I am now, I wrote a paper on possible natural phenomena that might have explained the Star of Bethlehem. I'd certainly like to sit in a class and discuss how the animals were not only fit on the ark, but fed and kept alive on it for 40 days as well, because I don't buy that one for a minute. :~)

OK, yours is an unusual attitude.

We get so many creationists and IDers on these threads who want their religious beliefs taught as science, with no rebuttal (or else you're bashing religion!), that it is hard to determine who wants what.

I still think science and religion are separate entities, and should not have to compete.

"these are a few of the educated guesses"

The Norse Creation Story is only a theory, not a fact!

You realize you are about be creamed, right? The flood alone has more scientific evidence AGAINST it than for it.
