Why Do We Believe?

Myths explain or describe a natural phenomenon, that we cant find a scientific explanation to (at least at the moment the myth was created). On the myth of Echo and Narcissus it explains how echo was created and hoe does it work. Some time these “stories” were considered a religion, which people had faith in.When I was reading Genesis I could make some connections between the bible and the myths. Adam and Eve reproduced and had children and so on with their children. Some years later god acknowledge the great mistake he had done by creating humans, “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually”- Genesis Ch. 6, verse 5. All though, there was a man who hadn’t been infected by the violence and corruption of earth, Noah. He was a normal person which was called to build and great arch by god. All the species (male & female) had to be aboard this ship for a period of 40 days, were god would make a flood in which everything but all aboard would die. After the great flood Noah spoke to god, and god promised never again to kill al humans, the symbol of this promise was the rainbow, “And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.” –Genesis, verse 11&12. Absurd enough the bible explains a phenomenon (the rainbow this case), as myths also do.It’s incredible to think that today millions of people have faith on religion such as Catholicism, which explains phenomena as the myths do. All though, there are no remaining believers in this dogma, which is thought absurd. People haven’t realized that this set of believes have many similarities.
