Whether you believe the Bible is truth or myth, it does seem interesting that so many different cultures have nearly the same kind of Creation story.

Most of the Old Testament stories were passed on orally for generations upon generations before they were ever written down. Kind of like playing telephone, you don’t get the original story at the end, but there are some truths.

Also, what about the stories, gospels, etc. that were not chosen at the Council of Nicea to be a part of the Catholic Holy Bible? There are probably some truths in those as well. This is why theology is much deeper than the literal interpretation of some various English translation versions of the biblical texts chosen by man to be a part of the bible that were written in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew.
