Many of the pagan religions are the same with different characters, similar to Osiris, Isis, and Horus. Some religions have no creation story or a weird creation story. It is the Bible that states in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth which I believe was the beginning of the Big Bang and the second heaven being the creation of our sky.
Yes you can make almost any religion fit the bill, but many religions do have creation stories, a few of them are very similar to those that feature in the bible. The bible itself features three different stories, how Christians account for this has twisted and turned through the years.
But the problem is it's nonsense to believe in the detail, no reasonable person equates the creation story with the science of the universe without excruciating twisting and assumption. It is clear it is simply another myth.
So what particular passages make you through reason believe it is a good account of science ?
Even then what makes you thing the story of the fall, or any supernatural experience is real ?
