Myths ladies and gents. Myths. Fables. This is about as true as Moses having split the seas, Thor being able to control thunder, Jesus coming back from the dead and Uri Geller bending spoons with his mind alone.
As Hypatia once said: "Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fancies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child-mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be, in later-years, revived of them. In fact, men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so; since a superstition is so intangible you can not get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and is so changeable."
One of the finest quotes that I know of.
