Excuse me, but what's the point? From the moment the first human being climbed down from the trees, mankind has come up with parables and myths which became codified into various religions to explain our existance on this earth. There's nothing new in this. I, personally, don't believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible, the Koran, the Greek myths, or the various Native American creation stories. IMO they are all allegories which attempt to point the way to some greater understanding. Unfortunately, religion has taken the place of true spirituality and various leaders from time immemorial have used religion for their own ends, whipping the masses into a frenzy of religous hysteria to justify various wars and atrocities. Tell me something I don't know, already.
