I hope there are suitable caveats around the Genesis text being mythology - I'd hate to imagine far-future generations scratching their heads at how otherwise technologically sophisticated people could image that this stuff was true.
- lyu07282 4y agolots of people believe it literally though and the majority of us are religous, we are exactly those otherwise technologically sophisticated people you are describing.
- vertis 4y agoIf you're a christian then creation/young earth is very important to protect, without it you have no "fall of man" and therefore no reason for a saviour. Accepting death before sin also complicates matters significantly (as you must if you accept evolution). That and Jesus' legitimacy as a saviour is based off a bunch of prophecy and lineage from some of the earlier texts, including Genesis.
