The Creation Myth defies the dogma of “mysterious ways”.
I believe the universe has always and will always exist, with merely allowances for matter approaching either 2 or 3 dimensions.
Creation from infinite power to our finite power is mathematically impossible, by definition. Creation from a finite power to lesser finite power could be understood, using scale—like reading a map or envisioning the planet Jupiter. Thus with some future understanding of the “creation”, “mysterious ways” lies fall apart.
Also—the so called Great Flood would have created a pressure level at the bottom of the oceans that would have killed pretty much all the life there—which we know to have thrived (and evolved), uninterrupted, for many millions of years.
And—repeatable genetics studies point to the cradle of humanity having existed some 200,000 to 150,000 years ago somewhere around modern day Ethiopia, which is a long ways from the Tigris or Euphrates (the Garden of Eden). What is considered modern man come from an individual with an advantageous mutation for improved speech.
I have many more arguments against religions, but I’d be mostly repeating things on this website and others.
I’d enjoy a debate between you and a believer of the creation myth. I’d be interested to hear justification on the believer’s part given the facts you have stated. It’s too bad we couldn’t bring this topic up for debate for the U.S. presidential race.

Yep.
