My word if that doesn’t seem terribly accurate by comparison to many of the debates I’ve read, watched, and engaged in. Hysterically funny, and sad all at the same time.

I just want to point out, at stumbling on this, that that’s not the Norse creation story. Thanks. Their creation story was actually something similar to the “big bang” explained as an ancient people could: a world of fire and a world of ice collided, creating a massive explosive thing and a new, livable world. That is where everything came from. Yggdrasil is not a literal, it is a figurative, you twit. They don’t literally mean there’s a big tree holding everythign together, it’s symbolic of the natural systems. People, animals, gods, interacting. The blind ignorance toward the faith in this is sort of off-putting, don’t you think? If you’re going to rag on something, do it right. (And for that arguement, most of Nordic cosmology is figurative and built on narrative stories that would have been understandable and mystic to the people of the time. So, the forming of man and woman from bits of nature already existing? Hmm…. )

The Norse Creation Myth
Brief excerpt:
Sounds about as credible as the Christian creation myth to me.

Excuse me, but let’s face a bit of reality on this. The posting above is a cartoon utilizing mythological characters and parodies of real world individuals to get a completely different point across to the reader. I think perhaps you should be more careful about flinging insults like, “twit” around when you yourself appear to be clueless as to the intent of the content.
