In reference to what you put in parenthesis, strangely enough, you only need 70 people in the same room to have a 99.9% chance of two of them having the same birthday! Seems wrong, but that’s how it works out. Math.
Myth is a literary (or oral tradition) form used to convey a truth too deep for mere data. Those denigrating myth are avoiding dealing with this truth. Granted, the Greco-Roman myths don’t tell us much about God, but they sure do about humans – as the vocabulary of psychology shows.
True story, when i went to a Catholic College (unnamed) we had to take Theology. The first day our instructor, a young priest, held up a Bible and told us it was written by a bunch of old men who liked to top each other with stories, and it was just that, stories. Picture a class of 18 year old girls with their mouth hanging open! He went on to say they were nice stories but for the most part they were written to keep the people in line and to give them laws to abide by, and since it is supposedly God’s word, the people obeyed. So too with all those painting of people burning in hell etc. Up til then we never realized the Church was so forward thinking.
God created them for procreation so of course they would be gendered.
____________God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.”- Genesis 1:27-28
