the discussion has become(predictably!!!) geligion-centric. now mythology is one thing, science is another. the clash between religion and science is very very old.in america ,many die-hard chritians wont believe evolution even today . some of them even want it to be stamped out of text books!!! yes believe it or not.
some of the comments completely negate evolution. what are we to accept-evolution of pure mythology? one must hasten to add another clarification. mythology,religion ,history etc are not identical but they tend to coalesce togather. take moses' life , ramayana ,mahabharata etc for example. and this has caused enormous problem for mankind(take contemporary ayodhya for example). the best solution would be to separate mythology, religion, history, science etc . but some of the comments indicate that that would never be possible and therein lies the danger.
