A Comment Left on 'Myth: Fiction or Fact?'

This is a comment left on Facebook on the post I made yesterday:

There are times when the historical facts become embellished that become legends. People ask whether so and so legend is true. There is no way to prove such things without archeological evidence, but it often turns out the legends and myths are true. The Trojan War most certainly happened, and Troy has been discovered. Even if the initial event that supposedly started the event was by gods, and there is no way to prove they really existed, the belief in the common culture of the Greeks must have gods as personifications of natural forces, the stories don't make sense nor are as memorable if it was invented out of thin air. The sense of meaning and the value the culture places on myths is what really matters. Does myth teach lessons that people live by? It most likely was true that Odysseus used the Trojan horse to invade Troy. Real life needs to be believable even without specific evidence of any wooden horse ever unearthed. The ingenoiusness of the plan is what needs to be remembered. Christian myths are true despite we cannot explain how a virgin birth could occur. Other myths already believed in such a occurence, so such a story can be believed. The problem with the extreme skeptical, logical, rational people is that they do not have imagination. I have studied science all my life, and modern physics can give an explanation of a virgin birth or a resurrection, if one does not limit what is reality to what can logically or experimently can be done. The existence of Godel's proof of the incompleteness of mathematics shows that there exist facts that cannot be determined by following the known rules. It makes even more sense when supernatural laws can exist that do not belong to natural realm. And, it may only be possible to experience such things by the initiation by a transcendent being who possesses no such natural limitations. Yeah, I've thought about this a long time. And the possession of faith allows us to go beyond what we can prove to be naturally possible. Yes, the skeptical want to reduce all mystery to ordinary events, but knowledge and wisdom are not limited by reduction. What the atheist loses by not developing their imagination and have an appreciation of mystery, paradox, and have a sense of awe. I admit, I am impressed when someone like Einstein can discover the laws of gravity and predict the universe's beginning, but there is still no way to explain just how the universe started. Limiting oneself to just natural processes could lead to a dead-end. Considering just how complicated General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are is proof itself that the universe must have been designed by an intelligence. And an intelligence, that still eludes us.
