That is my thinking too.. The story of creation is a myth... A simple one.. Also the bible has been translated so many times there have been a mistake here and there...

Bingo. To a person of real faith, it doesn’t diminish belief one bit.

Correct, bed time story for children.

The Bible (in its oldest parts) has been translated but one time - from Sumerian to Hebrew. The Jewish people, as they developed, used Hebrew, then Aramaic, then Ladino, then Yiddish, and finally English (with Hebrew as a second language except in Israel where it's the first language).

We have not yet discovered the earliest Sumerian versions of comparable parts in the Bible, but eventually we will, and they will appear more like the Hebrew stories than like the Babylonian or Hindu traditions.
