Yes.

Rather seeing these stories as myths, we often use the word myth meaning, oh, that's a myth, it's not true.

And one of the things we've talked about in other series is the deepest truths and the most important things that you have to say, you offer in mythical form.

And so instead of reading Genesis 1 as some sort of history book, this happened, this happened, this happened, this happened, this happened, and then trying to make sense of, hang on, we've got to chapter 10 and now we've got to chapter 11.

Mm-hmm.

Rather, the way to think about it is what you have in these opening 11 chapters are the most important experiences that shape their way of experiencing and being in the world.

Questions of why do we have this fractured relationship between genders? Why do we have this fractured relationship with the land? Why do people kill each other? What was that terrifying experience we had of this flood? You know, these sort of experiences...

That is now true.
