If you want something crazy to think about, consider that the Bible also references “mythology” several times and even references a giant angelic rebellion in Ezekiel. Remember David picking up 5 pebbles, but only needing one to take to slay Goliath? 1 Chron. 20 mentions Goliath’s 4 relatives. Almost all mythologies have a great flood. Maybe all those myths are true...
The thing that really blew my mind was the Anthropic principle or fine-tuned universe theory. Life as we know it couldn't exist if any number of numerous forces in the universe were adjusted even slightly. It's staggering just how woven and interconnected everything is and I honestly can't believe that it all just happened randomly like some atheists insist.
Want more proof? The sun the moon and the earth. All perfectly spaced and aligned for both lunar and solar eclipse. The moon spinning perfectly on its axis so the same part always faces the earth. The odds of those items happening and on the inhabited planet. Almost seems planned.
I have one of Schroeders books delayed in the mail that I can't wait to dig into, and plans to get more. The merging of modern science and theology is a fascinating subject to me. Thanks for the links, I'll check them out.
Edit: There are some atheists in that videos comment section that are just vomiting salt lmao
I have yet to find a myth that doesn't say mankind was created from either dirt, mud, or clay.
What's truly fascinating is that after 2 and a half decades of studying the Bible and thinking that the polytheistic gods of the pagans were purely fictitious creations of man's imagination, I discovered that they are actually based on Biblical beings : the elohim or Watchers that were part of the Divine Council and the nephilim that they begat. (Deut. 32:8 and Gen. 6:1-4 with elaboration from the Book of Enoch). See Michael S Heiser for a deeper understanding. It also explains some incredible knowledge the ancients had that still baffles us today (e.g. Megalithic structures made without present-day heavy machinery).

“But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;
or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?
In His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind." -Job 12:7
Preach it fren!

I was told that the Chinese symbol for survival is 8 people in a boat.
Literally: Eight/Mouths/Vessel
The character for flood is Eight/Above/Land I believe
