You are missing the point. The creation myths were considered complete. Nothing left to be known.

    Well yes, people who believe things that aren't true won't admit that they don't know anything. I'm not sure why that's relevant though.

    You stated “this has been always true” to the statement that we have understanding that things are really complex and difficult to figure out. The answer to you was an example that there were times where we did not have such understanding.

    Material things are way below what God planned for man.
    Man (Body + Soul) was meant to be like God (NB God is not material) (in a good way).
    The Bible is not meant to be a physics textbook.
    Nevertheless, God owns everything. So things were talked about here and there...

    The Bible also isn't meant to be real. It's a compendium of stories all put into one book, with tons of different writers. It's akin to The Odyssey and shouldn't be taken literally. Zeus didn't come to Earth as a golden shower to impregnate Danae, and Jesus didn't come back from the dead. They're just fables.

    In the Old Testament, you'll always see genealogies of key persons being discussed to Adam (the first man).
    In the New Testament, the genealogy is from Jesus Christ to Adam (in Matthew, Mark, Luke, Acts and by Paul I think).
    Zeus and Diana (profligate) were humans. But pagans deify their rulers.
    Let me make a second post...

    The Bible is historical too:
    When Moyses drowned the Egyptians (Old Testament which Jews held and kept sacred)
    When Jesus, Mary & Joseph took refuge in Egypt (New Testament which Christians hold and keep sacred)
    In the first example, we learn that Egyptians used chariots (even far back in the time of Moyses).

    'Satan' is part of your name, so I guess you know who he was, and who he is now.
    'Satan' is opposed to the coming of Christ (the reason for all those genealogies).
    'Satan' would do everything to make people forget why Christ came.
    'Satan' would make Christmas (we all have our birthdays) to seize.
    'Satan' wants people to believe that Christ is like Zeus and Mary like Diana (profligate).

    But you should know that Satan is a fallen angel.
