@SW-User Did you debate the Hindu creation story? How about the Navajo creation story? Japanese/Shinto? Celtic creation story? Did you study these in science class? If so, just when did you study *anything* resembling science.
When you say you studied "Bible studies" and found the history very interesting - I most certainly hope that you studied those same historical periods from other cultures, at least in the region if not the world - except when the claim impacted the world - and compared and contrasted those stories to hypothesize about the truth? Most certainly, you didn't just read one history from one culture in school!
