This would be like calling The Hobbit and The Last Unicorn the same story. People tell fantastic stories, native americans and egyptians are both people. Simple explanations rarely satisfy, I know.
My research indicates there is a stark difference between creative fiction and creation mythology, and that difference is meme. I have been lead to consider, also through research, that Richard Dawkins had the right idea about meme but the wrong sourcing. The path I currently follow is ahead of the scientific frontier - superposition.
I do not intend to suit up and go to Mordor to slay Sauron, I intend to storm heaven and steal the eternal flame for my Gwynnies and all mankind - like Prometheus. Satan. Set.
Yeah, a theory of superposition has that real-world potential.
