So, in the Christian mythos...
Hold on, full-stop.
How do you make the astronomical leap from "creationism" to "christian god"?
I mean, I hope you're aware that there are literally thousands of different creator gods with roughly exactly the same quality of supporting documentation. And really, for all we know, it could have been any of them or any combination of them perhaps even inadvertently cooperating.
It is demonstrable that Christian theology is derived from Sumer and Akkadian Theology, as modified by the Babylonians. We have their earlier holy texts, from which Genesis is lifted wholesale.
Yup.
The problem is the word is muddied.
Creationism:
When we see Christians arguing about Creationism being taught in school, they are referring to the Christian creation mythos.
Goddess! I would love a class that just went through all the creation myths.
Christian, Hopi, Hindu... and even Mormon.
Now, that would be a class to take!
The universe is a life creation machine.
We will find life throughout our galaxy and all of it has DNA.
The revelations we are about to find will pretty much destroy our views of Creationism and Evolutionism. (the Big Bang... gone too)
We have been worrying about the loss of species. (mostly because the TV blames in on man)
What we will witness is the birth of new species.
We will also see the birth of a new galaxy.
And it will put paid to the idea that it was an explosion and then coalescing.
Before he died, Joseph Campbell created a series of lectures and a text 'Transformations of Myth Through Time', which was taught as an Anthropology class in a community college in Portland, OR back in the day.
There are notable stages of a heroes journey that feature in almost all mythic traditions, from the Hopi to the Norse.
I'm a big fan of "The Power of Myth".
ME TOO!!
NANABOZHO FOR THE WIN!
I'm not sure about that.
I saw a documentary that interviewed the creationist advocate who injected it into school curriculum and he insisted repeatedly that there were no religious references whatsoever.
Ok, it was "Intelligent Design" (DEISM).
Full documentary,
