Creation really happened. Explaining it with a mythological tale leaves many young hearts and minds empty. EMPTY, I say. At age 4, I wanted my Mother to read library books about Astronomy to me. An interest like this is not unusual for a 4 year old. The Bible alienates many young children.
BTW, for eloquence and imagery in an English language fairy tale, why not read "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" by Eugene Field.
Well in the UK we are taught about the big bang, even at primary school I think. We were def not taught that god created us. We weren't taught about god or the Bible at all really. Maybe just a bit to go along with the nativity at christmas. I barely knew anything about christianity upon leaving primary school. It would be horrible to have someone shoving Christianity down your throat saying thats the way it happened. They would probs lose their job for that here, unless it was at roman catholic nutcase school.
I'm almost atheist but study the bible

Thanks for the poem, I've never come across it.
