Danielbooy, 

"the entire business of Creation vs. Evolution, Science vs. Scripture,
Pistis vs. Gnosis, Dr. Dino vs. Stephen Hawking has become unbearable
to me"

would be a statement that I think a number of us could very strongly identify with. So, what are the alternatives? Any construct or way of viewing the world is necessarily simulacrum. Perception itself is subtractive and selective in nature. The uncertainties of daily living pile up even when we fail to notice that we are walking a bit too close to the cliff edge.

But, it is precisely here that myth comes to the fore. While not providing a metanarrative, it does provide the anchor points that orient our souls to the deeper, other and differant qualities of realities that exist in dimensions that we cannot precisely delineate.

It is a mistake to try to substitiute myth for truth or vice versa. Both are needed and if you ask me I think we need good myth more than we need whatever we have so far though of as "truth".
