Because IF someone understands how something works, they should be able to explain it in 25 words or less.
Mythology is a description of the world, while tales are for children or for amusement.I have nothing against mythology or fables or fairy tales. In fact, I rather like them. And they are certainly important aspects of human history that we can learn from, but I would certainly NOT use a COLLECTION of myths, fables and tall tales (see what I did there, listed them separately to indicate that they are different literary vehicles) as a scientific textbook since those "first tries of humanity to grasp the reality around them" were generally wrong, i.e. lightning and thunder being caused by Thor's hammer.

Sorry, but that is just ridiculous. I can't even explain football in 25 words or less, and I've lived and breathed the sport for 40 years.
22 men try to put a ball into a goal.
I have a son in law that told me he couldn't explain soccer because it's too complicated.22 men try to put a ball into a goal.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. When I was visiting my wife's family in Germany many years ago, I found them all to be soccer* fanatics. When I asked my wife's cousin to explain the game, the above is the reply I got.
*Soccer: The term Americans use in order to make it clear Europeans aren't really playing football.
You personally, nothing.What am I trying to force others to believe?
Willful ignorance.What am I trying to pass off as science?

The only words I would add to your explanation of soccer is that there are two teams opposing each other
and whoever gets the most goals wins.
The bible is not a book about science.You personally, nothing.
Creationists as a group, up until Epperson v. Arkansas (1968), that the world is only 6-10 thousand years old, that the first man was magically conjured up out of a pile of dirt, that the first woman was magically conjured up out of a rib ripped out of the first man, that snakes could talk, that the Flintstones was a documentary, that a 600 year old guy built a wooden barge and stuffed it with all sorts of animals (including dinosaurs) to survive a cataclysmic global flood that magically and almost instantaneously formed every geological feature we see on the planet, etc.. Do any of these sound familiar to you? Well, these were the things that creationists (though they haven't necessarily been called that throughout their history) have been forcing people to believe as scientifically valid for the past few hundred years in the Western (Christian) world, often upon pain of torture and death.
Willful ignorance.
It would also, in many cases, be evidence of insanity. Here is my insane attempt to do it for the Cambrian Explosion.I know enough of how a lot of things work to know that trying to explain them in 25 words or less would be an exercise in misunderstanding.
It could be added, but not absolutely needed as the goal of the game has been stated.I would add - they use legs. Thats why it is called football (and Americans do not get the logic - they think that foot ball is supposed to be hold in hands)
I think they were simply unable to invent another word. Americans...It could be added, but not absolutely needed as the goal of the game has been stated.
And yes, it's called FOOTBALL in the states...it IS rather strange! Maybe because the ball is kicked every now and then? Who can know....
Then what are you?I'm not a creationist.
Although technically the keeper is not trying to put the ball in a goal, except in rare occasions.
