I do not accept that central myth. In fact, my relgiious faith denies any creation myth. We have a birth myth.

In other words, The Goddess and the God made love and The Goddess gave birth to The Universe out of that love.

That is not a creation myth. There was no creating done by a single deity. There was love shared by two deities and the Universe is the result of that union so that part of The God and part of The Goddess exists within all that is.

I recognize that for the myth that it is, but it is no less valid than to say that in the beginning, The God created the Heavens and the Earth. I connect better to the birth myth than I ever could to the creation myth.
