Disproving Odin - An Experiment in arguing with a theist with Theist logic

With Odin's parents, you have...what...a material cause? Fire and Ice...allegorically. Do I really need to point out that you will not be able to keep this comparison up?

And yet with Mankind, we see that human beings actually evolved over thousands of years.  Keep in mind that the bible is supposed to be the word of God himself.  Which means that he should know how humans actually came about, but instead decided to tell a fairy tale about two people in a magic garden with a talking snake and a fruit people weren't supposed to eat. 

Meanwhile, we don't have the story from Odin himself.  The Legends of How Odin was formed isn't something that mankind needs to know.  Merely it's an allegorical story meant to symbolize how Odin is both fire and ice, he is heat and cold.  The story is not meant to be taken literally.  Odin could surely have told us how he came about, but he has chosen not to because it's not important.  If the Allfather wants us to know how he was created, he will tell us.
