I didn't read the phrase "creation story" as literally referring the start of astronomy. It's a punchy allusion that fits well with the themes and thesis of the article.

So, I take that to mean you aren't an athesist.

  What does that have to do with anything discussed here, or said in the article you responded to? "Creation" is a word used for more than that one thing that seems to occupy your mind as its only use. Please consult a dictionary, the religious meaning is only one of many. When I create software I'm not doing anything religious as far as I can tell. Never even mind that the submission title explicitly states what "creation" is meant: "of astronomy" (that's a scientific field). One might argue whether Kepler & Co. mark the time and place where "astronomy" was created or whether the article's subject actually is the creation of astronomy or just a famous episode from its much longer history, still has nothing to do with your purely religious interpretation of a common word. If you actually read the article you will find that this article is about - astronomy. As promised in the title.
