	Dinosaurs and dragons: stamping on the legends
		This has special significance when it is realized that the KJV was published in the year AD 1611; that is to say, less then four centuries ago, the translators of the Bible were happy to use the term ‘dragon’, confident that its use would be meaningful and not mythical for the readers.
		All the predictions and expectations, with respect to dinosaurs, arising from the creation model, are seen to be fulfilled, while none of the predictions and expectations arising from the evolution model are.
		These were created on Day 5 of Creation Week, along with the birds and other sea creatures, such as fish and whales.

	Seven Tablets of Creation
		The confusion is apparent in the repetition of the description of man's creation and in the interruption of the naturalistic explanation of the slaying of Omorka.
		In the Creation Series the creation of the world is narrated as the result of Marduk's conquest of the dragon, and there is no doubt that this version of the story represents the belief most generally held during the reigns of the later Assyrian and Babylonian kings.
		Evidence as to the existence of the Creation legends at least as early as the ninth century B.C. may be deduced from the representations of the fight between Marduk and the dragon Tiamat, which was found sculptured upon two limestone slabs in the temple of Ninib at Nimrûd.

	Book 7- Egyptian Wisdom and the Hebrew Genesis- Part of Ancient Egypt - The Light of the World by Gerald Massey
		In the Egyptian documents creation generally is attributed to Ptah, the first form of the god who was lord of all; one of whose zootypes was the beetle, as a figure of the former or the moulder of matter, which preceded the anthropomorphic image of the potter.
		Creation in the book of Genesis is described as an event, or a series of events, occurring once upon a time and once for all, whereas the genuine mythos represents the natural phenomena as constantly recurring.
		Ptah was the creator of the circle in which the sun and moon revolved, when the passage through the under-world was finished; and the egg is a hieroglyphic sign of the circle, which, circle was also a figure of the eternal pathway.

		__ "The Miao have no written records, but they have many legends in verse, which they learn to repeat and sing." Here is their version of the creation.
		Therefore their creation myths concern themselves with gods of nature; the earth, the sky, the sun, the moon, the stars, and of course, the Nile river." - From Richard Deurer - http://members.aol.com/egyptart/crea.html
		Cosmogony normally includes, not only an account of the origin of the world, but also a description of its physical qualities, declaring, for example, whether there is light or darkness in Cosmos, or of which parts it is formed.

	Why is the biblical creation myth right?
		It must be awfully hard to look at the whole of creation and attribute it to time and chance instead of intelligent design.
		And when you strip away the mythological elements of legends from around the world, you keep coming up with a few common things: a God who created from nothing; man after the animals; man choosing his own way; painful consequences.
		Thus, to say that the majority of scientists accept evolution may be true on the surface, but that is about as far as their acceptance goes anyway.

		In 1870, Rawlinson and Smith noted allusions to the Creation in the important tablet K.63, but the texts of portions of tablets of the Creation Series at that time available for study were so fragmentary that it was impossible for these scholars to find their correct sequence.
		Though in the version of the Legend already referred to the great god of creation was Enlil, or Marduk, or Ashur, we know that in the Legend of Gilgamish (Second Tablet) it was the goddess Aruru who created Enkidu (Eabani) from a piece of clay moistened with her own spittle.

		It is quite clear that the Account of the Creation given in the Seven Tablets is derived from very ancient sources, and a considerable amount of literary evidence is now available for reconstructing the history of the Legend.
		And there is reason to think that the Legend of the Dragon had originally nothing whatever to do with the Creation, for the texts of fragments of two distinct Accounts2 of the Creation describe a fight between a Dragon and some deity other than Marduk.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
		May, drawing in part on the tale of The Ugly Duckling and his own background (he was a often taunted as a child for being shy, small, and slight), settled on the idea of an underdog ostracized by the reindeer community because of his physical abnormality: a glowing red nose.
