[QUOTE="SolomonVII, post: 72216674, member: 12407"] In the one case, creation is an act of love. In the other, it is an act of expulsion of all that is vile and revolting. Since people supposedly are part of this world, which myth better describes your existence in this world? Do you consider yourself a revolting fleck of vomit, or do you consider yourself as a being that has meaning and purpose and who is loved? In a world in which what is unknown will always be greater than that which is known, truth is most adequately defined as what works. The evolution of our bodies has prepared us for survival in this world, and so has the evolution of our truths. What increases chances for survival is more adequately adapated to the reality of this world, and is therefore true in that sense. If you think that believing yourself to be an unwanted fleck of god vomit better prepares you to survive and pass on your genes to the next generation, then that is of course your choice. The Christian creation myth is not frivolous though. Through believing in it, and all the meanings that it has given to people as they go about their lives, societies have thrived and prospered and grew for thousands of years now. When it comes to creation myths, that is the most useful means of discerning truth. [/QUOTE]
