Ah, so the holy Bible contains mythical language!
The Word of God contains myths!
The people of God, Jews and Christians, believe in mythical stuff!
Yes.
Because of this many sneer at Bible and go away searching the pure logical and scientific words in the footsteps of August Comte and Ludwig Wittgenstein. They have defined for modern man what is meaningful language what is given to us (by whom?) and what is nonsensical piling of words (especially in Philosophy and Theology and the world of religions)
But why hurry away?
If God chooses to speak to us His creatures also through myths - and He does - so who are we to reject that kind of parlance?
For anyone studying modern communications know about the penetrating power of myths and the deep impact of mythological imagery. If a company reaches in its marketing strategies something of mythical proportions among global audiences it Transforms their products into plenty of hard cash!
Would not God our creator know that myths are powerful media?
And would He not know how to create myths that contain deep truths about reality?
