Nice try! No, these stories are all about a Global Flood, not local...

I can cite a lot of creation myths from different cultures that involve creation occuring via two gods mating. Does that mean it must be true?

Maybe the global flood was just a big wet patch.

Two can play at that game. I can cite scientific theory that says bleeding a patient removes bad blood and cures the patient.

So what if you can cite myths from different cultures. Those myths may embody a great deal of truth. Most myths are not based on fiction, they are based on an element of fact that is attempted to be explained in light of the belief system of the culture from whence the "myth" comes. In that case, the individual "myth"s are not the issue - the common thread of truth is the issue. That is just plain and obvious unless you don't want to deal with the central point.. that of a flood.

For most, a flood means there is a God who can and will judge this planet. What does a child do when scared? Covers it's eyes and pulls the blanket over it's head to hide itself from what it fears... The blanket vanquishes the closet monster as it were.. But in truth, were there a closet monster, the blanket is no defense and the child is doomed. Yet, you pull a blanket of willful ignorance over your head to hide from your closet monster - God.

No,I take my belief on faith, evolution can't do this because science can't do this and still be called science, but evo's really try hard to turn their faith into facts as evidenced by this thread.
