If you want to know what's actually true about the real world, science is the way to go. Science has built into it methods for discovering objective truth uncontaminated by subjective bias. I feel a slight sense of disagreeing with you. And origin myths, such as the perhaps very beautiful Maori myths, belong in a different category. Do you not think that poetic myths and symbolic myths are true in a different way? Well, in adifferent way, but what different way? That's where I would be enlightened by you.
