At the heart of God's creation stands the Garden of Eden, and within the Garden God brought about a new kind of being: the human person. With dignity beyond imagining, this new creation was made in the image and likeness of God himself, having intellect and will, joining the immortal and spiritual to the material. The first humans were named Adam and Eve, and they were called by God “very good,” ordered to “be fruitful and multiply” and populate the Earth. The angels sang in gladness at their creation, while the Devil and his fallen demons looked on with growing envy.

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.
