There are about as many doubts as that of any historical text. Yes, of course one cannot know whether or not ancient writings speak the truth, but regardless, the texts at least would still hold value. That said, many sources suggest Socrates was an actual historical figure who was widely written about in antiquity, most notably by Plato, Aristotle, Aristophanes and Xenophon. These texts, however, are inconsistent, incomplete, and undoubtedly historically inaccurate. The details of Socrates's life and character remain controversial; nonetheless, his historical existence has never been seriously questioned.

Are creation story's the same as creation myths?
It depends how you define the word 'story'. If you use it to refer to an actual event which is being retold, then, no they are not synonymous. If you use 'story' to refer to a tale that is made-up, then, yes, it means the same as myth. For a Christian, the Creation is an actual historical event which explains the beginnings of our earth and life upon it. For sceptics, the term 'myth' is applied since they choose not to accept it as a record of an event in time.

Would Socrates Plato Aristotle and Aquinas concur that all moral and political truth is relative to ones time and place?
No. Since Socrates did not write any books, even though he thought that nothing is more important than living a good life it is difficult to know just what he thought about the relativity of value judgments about moral and political questions. Aristotle would be at least somewhat sympathetic to the idea that moral and political truth is relative, but he would insist, as would Plato, that what most counts is the moral character of the person making the claim (rather than the claim abstracted from an actual situation). In other words, for them, a value judgment is true if a good person thinks it is true. Aquinas would disagree that moral and political truth is relative; since, for him (unlike for the other three) God is responsible for creating truth, truth is absolute although, of course, it is sometimes difficult for human beings to apprehend it. .
