As a catholic, the idea of the Bible story of creation in Genesis seems more realistic to me. As I believe in one god, I think that the god's in the greek creation story were not god. The idea of supernatural powers thousands of years ago cannot be proven true or false. Many ideas in the greek story are exaggerated. Such as putting babies back in the womb or giving birth to creatures with fifty arms. The bible story is also most likely exaggerated. The idea of earth being created in seven days is most likely not true. The ideas of humans being created by clay or woman coming from a mans rib are very exaggerated and not true. Things that could be true are the interesting explanations of how things such as water, animals, and land are created. The creation story is important to modern society because it is the explanation of where we are today. The world is still very similar to the descriptions in both the bible and greek mythology, so it is needed to know where we came from. Without these stories, the creation of earth would be unexplainable.
