I read the entirety of your post\answer. I don’t believe Genesis 1-11 is Jewish creation myth. Most of what you said doesn’t buy any convincing proof for me. You saying “ There are places on earth where people live that don't really have cold/hot seasons (the Equator), or where agriculture is impossible (North Asia and Northern Canada).” That may be true, but it doesn’t negate the seasons of the earth continuing perpetually elsewhere. I believe the entire Word of God is God breathed. Are there metaphors within, figurative language, prophetic language, poetry, proverbs, etc? Yes!Cork88– Cork882021-10-01 19:30:00 +00:00Commented Oct 1, 2021 at 19:30

@Cork88 - Note that "Myth" here is a term of art, and does not mean "its all BS".To quote from the WP link: "While in popular usage the term myth often refers to false or fanciful stories, members of cultures often ascribe varying degrees of truth to their creation myths. In the society in which it is told, a creation myth is usually regarded as conveying profound truths – metaphorically, symbolically, historically, or literally. They are commonly, although not always, considered cosmogonical myths – that is, they describe the ordering of the cosmos from a state of chaos or amorphousness."T.E.D.– T.E.D.2021-10-02 02:49:10 +00:00Commented Oct 2, 2021 at 2:49

I should study more on what you are referring to with the word “Myth” then. I am convinced it’s creation history, namely: Genesis 1-11. As far as your comment is concerned, maybe I’ll end it there to study more on what you speak of. I’m also not sure what your view is to all of scripture. I’ve been saved 9 years, coming up on 10 soon, I have a lot more books to read to understand arguments on many sides. ;)Cork88– Cork882021-10-02 04:05:36 +00:00Commented Oct 2, 2021 at 4:05

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. word-study), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
