The problem isn't exactly that some homo sapiens wrote that these were said by someone, but the fact that we don't see those writings as what they are; symbolic stories. No one said "let us make man in our image", but (hu)man is a microcosm, a miniature of the Universe. And within them the same laws as those of the Universe are manifesting.
Of course we are the the next realm of the animals, but these processes couldn't run without the wise noetic energy of the Cosmos.
You know my thesis. We agree, and in parallel, symbolic stories are useful for the earthly human mind to perceive its wider "version" and much more. But they are misused and of course, some of these "stories" are written for other purposes than the widening of perception of humans.

Very dynamic piece, Patrick.
