Well, shorter But if you like, what is a myth? Because what I am reading on line is this...

3.

His account of the event is pure myth.

Perry White sends Lois out looking for the story

Perry White is a fictional character at a fictional newspaper that's like a TV. Dr. crying out STAT! Newspapers have articles, also known as stories or editorial or press and probably a dozen other things.

As for the definition game the first one is as good a version as any ... But we both know what you're trying to do now ... And honestly I don't much care to play along. Go read my commentary again, you'll see that I've never been anything but respectful when the question of religion has come up. That's because I hold no contempt for the beliefs of others. But I'm getting the distinct feeling from you that it is bothersome to you that I don't hold your Christian beliefs as somehow higher or better than another system. If that is the case simply say so and we'll move on. But realize that I hold NO religious affiliation personally so they are all equally valid (or invalid depending on ones perspective) in my mind.

Calling anybodies religious belief's mythical isn't usually going to come across to them as respectful, which is why I try not to do it

I quite liked in the Wonder Woman animated movie how the lightning bolt striking the clay was part of the process - since that is after all one of the theories as to how life started in the ancient oceans.

Obviously there was some magical transmutation of atomic structure, of course

And I never called anyone's beliefs mythical. I referred to all of these types of "stories" as myths. Which they are as the definition above clearly indicates. As soon as beliefs came into the equation I made it clear what I thought.

A good example of a story, not a myth.

Meanwhile back on the topic ... Obi Wan and Luke probably have different chemical composition than an earth bound human since they are not from Earth.

I'm glad you're here to tell us these things

Good point though. Even on Earth there are differences from region to region which can be quantifies as geographic markers. Another interesting question would be the elemental composition.

Actually I thought about this and believe I owe Darius an apology.

I stand by my position but the title of the thread is don't get cocky and the truth is I should have opened a dialogue more respectfully by asking him to clarify his thoughts instead of trying to bulldozer over it.

My bad, Darius. Sorry
