"Perhaps you should try actually reading the essays that you post"

I read it three times--four, now. Your wild accusations still do nothing for your case.

..." Man, in his desperate search for answers,attempted to find an explanation to how he and his world came to exist. This was the motivation behind the many myths of creation that prevailed in human religions and cultures...

You can find this in any first year mythology or world religion class. If it is alien subject matter to you, it is easily repaired at your local library.

"life evolved, so evolution is a fact."

Yes, evolution is a fact which stands on its own irrespective of religion. Any religious consideration of the origins of life or the ground of existence must therefore consider the fact of evolution. Thus, the creation myths are more properly studied as mythology than as theology. If a search for a Super Being is to amuse or challenge human thought then it must proceed at a more advanced level than the primitive creation myths of our forebears.
