Best Answer

A creation myth tells us something that no human could possibly have known first-hand. This applies equally for the stories in Genesis chapters 1 and 2 as for the Greek and Roman creation myths.

A written account of history may contain errors and authorial biases but, unless it is entirely fictitious, is based on human knowledge.
