Myths Are Stories That Express Meaning, Morality Or Motivation. Whether They Are True Or Not Is Irrelevant.

No Such Individual Would Find The Golden Rule Surprising In Any Way Because At Its Base Lies The Foundation Of Most Human Interactions And Exchanges And It Can Be Found In Countless Texts Throughout Recorded History And From Around The World - A Testimony To Its Universality.

Myths, Whether In Written Or Visual Form, Serve A Vital Role Of Asking Unanswerable Questions And Providing Unquestionable Answers. Most Of Us, Most Of The Time, Have A Low Tolerance For Ambiguity And Uncertainty. We Want To Reduce The Cognitive Dissonance Of Not Knowing By Filling The Gaps With Answers. Traditionally, Religious Myths Have Served That Role, But Today — The Age Of Science — Science Fiction Is Our Mythology.

Creationists Have Also Changed Their Name ... To Intelligent Design Theorists Who Study 'irreducible Complexity' And The 'abrupt Appearance' Of Life-yet More Jargon For 'god Did It.' ... Notice That They Have No Interest In Replacing Evolution With Native American Creation Myths Or Including The Code Of Hammarabi Alongside The Posting Of The Ten Commandments In Public Schools.
