" In most of them, aren't they handed down by the themselves?" In the Bible, it is handed down from God to Man, and Man wrote it down. In Norse and Germanic Mythos, it is simply known as a story. The origin is unknown or not questioned. In both cases however, it is the educated who have passed on the religion, not God (or the gods). And yes, the cataclysms are there in the stories, but given the lack of a complex language system (at least written) until around 3,700 B.C. we would assume over time, such stories would change more dramatically. Ever played "Telephone"? Divinity (a Supreme God especially) is obvious when you ask questions like that, but you still wonder. Who was the first to "know"?

So, God spoke to you personally and told you this? Or does the Bible say the Bible is true?
