Either is a product of human beings. We do express myths afresh actually. How many times has Midas been redone? My nephew was telling me about some excellent book he had to read (he's in middle school I believe) about a kid who turned everything he touched into chocolate, and how great that would be. I said "oh, so it's king midas?", he says "who?". It was obvious he hadn't made it to the end so I didn't want to ruin the narrative for him by elaborating, lol.
Ask Bram Stoker where he came up with Dracula. Ask Shakespeare where Aaron came from. I don't understand the mystery here. Seems like we're well on our way to a good piece of literature, not sure how theism gets invoked so quickly (but it obviously does, judging by the amount of believers in the world and their "greatest story ever told"..or "too good to be fiction" or my favorite "too perfect in its style and composition to be a product of the human hand".)
