Pretending that evolution is false and that x creation myth is true, what gives one religion's creation myth more plausibility than all the others. There are many creation myths and many that predate the biblical account of creation.

The one creation myth in your sacred book is just as plausible as any of the others.

Hehehe - good fundie answer!

But no, "it's right" applies equally to any of the thousands of creation myths. Those who believe or believed each of them all knew theirs "was right".

There's no more evidence for the (plagiarized) Biblical account than there is for any of the others.

The Christian one is one most plausible because it is IN THE BIBLE! Everyone knows that.

Everyone's belief of the creation is based on faith.

Winners write history.

Despite attempts to be portrayed as oppressed, Christianity has walked lock step with economic empires. Therefore, their creation myth wins. Guns, germs, and steel, baby.

Creation myths are merely stories to explain what cannot or could not be explained in the past. To attempt to attribute them as fact, regardless of source, is just silly. Science doesn't have all the answers, but it is closer to any creation story invented without proof from man.
