    Well, for one, why aren't the sea levels rising anywhere near the amount they claimed 30 years ago?

    There is no debate if that is true.

    Mummy and daddy are germs that pretend to be human beings. Or... Mommy and daddy are human beings that have forgotten that they are germs. As for other lifeforms, who knows?.

    The average global temperature in July 2019 was 1.71 degrees F above the 20th-century average of 60.4 degrees,
    making it the hottest July on record, according to scientists at NOAA

    You don't see a pattern here?

    Irm thinks the science sounds like bullshit.

    I think the myths are dumb.

    Is what it is.

    I'm merely at odds with serious attempts to discredit established science with false arguments. People can believe what they want :)

    Ok, two dubious opinions :p You haven't even took notice of the original myths, only a third hand interpretation ;) But even if the myths are unbelievable or open to interpretation, they still are a valuable part of history (and with history im talking about the stories being written down in about 2000 BC, not the mythological stories themselves). The mythology and religious beliefs of an ancient culture shapes the culture and society.

    Because there's a lot of ocean. Doesn't change that the glaciers and north pole ice are shrinking.

    I guess I haven't read far back enough to fully appreciate and experience numinous awe with mythology.

    But even Greek Philosophy, I recall reading one book from I believe Plato and like most of it was really interesting, then he goes on some rant about mythology and it felt like half his brain fell out. And this is even after me granting him numbers and ideas have their own standalone reality and that every object is a derivative of a perfect form of that type of object.

    We should always consider the context of what they knew and circumstances of those ancient philosophers and scribes. I think Plato's ideas regarding that other perfect reality are worthwile and interesting to us for a large part because they give an important insight in what ancient greek philosophers were busy with. Not in the first place because it might have real merit.

    Mythology is of course different already than philosophy, and it seems dumb to take them as historic stories by default when it is known it generally has a different purpose (validating a certain historic persons or groups position, make sense of natural phenomena that they couldn't explain back then, creating personifications for them in the form of deities, etc.)
