The creation account proceeds to a small bit of rock called Earth, which would outshine all the cosmos in the great drama of the Genesis story. Its conditions were arranged just so, allowing the planet to sustain life: plants and animals, fish and birds and reptiles, living things of marvelous variety.
While the word "myth" has come to mean "untrue account," we mean something quite different. Throughout the long ages of human life and culture, myth has been a way of expressing deep truths. And so, here, "mythic narrative" means "meaningful account." Indeed, it is an account that might be entirely true... or mostly false... or somewhere in between. We know where we stand, but that's for each listener to discover.
