and every one of them had their particular ethnic or cultural group as the group that was created, doesn't that tell you something?
In the Greek stories, the Gods created the Greek people, not the Jewish people. In the Egyptian stories, the God(s) created the Egyptian people, not the Scandinavian people.
I'm not Jewish, so it would be silly for me to accept their version at face value, especially since my own ancestors had a story that had our group as the center of Creation.
And I also understand that these things are just cultural manifestations and not literal truth.
No one ever wrote a creation story where they claimed that 'Those people over there are the ones the God(s) created and well, we just suck!"
So what possible reason would I have for taking the Hebrew books literally, and making myself into a descendant of Hebrew tribes, when I know that I'm not, and a simple DNA test can prove it.
