It is a story. There's true stories and there's untrue stories. I don't refuse to believe in something because I believe the main character is a monster. I think Putin is butthead, but I still believe he exists. By the way, scientists told me there were nine planets in the solar system and now they tell me there's only eight. Why can't they be consistent? I can't accept science anymore because they're always changing their minds. Scientists have been wrong more times that I can count. Next thing you know they'll tell me that bloodletting treatments can be harmful.
So basically, you want a parental figure who tells you everything about the world, and if they're wrong you'll throw a hissy fit and turn your back on them.
Which makes no sense, since the bible has repeatedly been shown to be mistaken in many areas, only to be covered up by apologetics.
It seems that you don't understand the basics of what science is about, and simply want to be told what to think, so you don't have to do it yourself.
