I also acknowledge our biological mechanisms. The human body is a fascinating creation.

And that's all I'll say about that ...

"creation"

I concur with the eye rolling.

Unless creation means copulation. I know who created me. I call them Mom and Dad.

I don't think the elements were personified as gods to escape boredom. Maybe to put a friendly face on the unknown?

Not what I meant actually. The way they treat this world, and the universe for that matter, is something that I find to be far more real than the stance people have today. The world today seems boring and dead. There was so much life then (which is found in their literature/scripture).

I don't see how the monotheism of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or Samaritanism better accomodates our knowledge of the universe than Greek polytheism or Norse mythology would. It's all fiction no matter how you slice it.

I suppose by fiction you are referring to the cosmologies of the religions you mentioned?

I am referring to that and other nonfalsifiable, supernatural beliefs: belief in one or more gods, belief in spirits, belief in an afterlife or reincarnation.
