And there are some of atheist and agnostic alike who hold the view for
various reasons that particular renditions are in a literal sense
improbable. That as science evolves there is not likely to be anything that
cannot be explained rationally and naturally as opposed to mystical or
transcendent as exposed through the history of science and evolution of
religions, folk wisdoms, etc. That the more 'folklike' explanation of things
offers a stopgap measure for us to gather a somewhat informative if not
accurate explanation for the observations being communicated, it offers
symbols to communicate and retain wisdom within the culture. For some, that
is.
