Certain myths upon which our society is founded perpetuate lesser myths which, whole being no less true, can be much more harmful. The biggest myth of all is our creation myth. It is told to us almost everyday in some fashion. Can you guess what that story is? What is the story of how we can to be here? How did the universe form? How did life appear? How did Mankind arrive on this planet?
Now I know what you are thinking. I went through the same thought process. You may be thinking, "I believe in a story about the creation of the universe, the galaxy, the solar system, the earth, life, evolution, and the appearance of Mankind but it is certainly no myth!"
Let's lay out the story and why it is indeed a myth. We will start with the discovered diary of male jellyfish written 500 million years ago. (See Ishmael by Daniel Quinn for a Socratic dialogue on the subject.)
