   Dr Heiser:

   you keep letting the facts get in the way of the truth! I.e. There never may have been a Romeo and Juliet, but that doesn’t take away the from the truth of Shakespeare’s play. In terms of this particular story, what is of interest is not how folks are mistaken about the nature of the undersea formation, but what they make of it, why they make of it what they make of it, what these imaginings reveal about the Zeitgeist, etc. The very same can be said about the “truth” of religious beliefs…(!)

     I never made a factual claim about how people process it — so your criticism is misguided. Of course people make use of it for their worldview.
