 Usually I like to figure out things by myself in my mind, and when I discuss/communicate with others I simply express my opinions. But today, through the discussion, my thoughts became clear. I often got inspired by conversations but had never got my mind organized by conversations. I felt excited about today's experience. 

About the certainty and uncertainty delivered by creation myths and scientific stories:

The scientific stories give us a sense of uncertainty, which makes me feel that it is almost impossible to know the real origin of the universe. It is really annoying for me that I will never know the truth, because I am curious and I want to know the truth so bad.

And I think the creation stories also give a sense of uncertainty, not to us, but to the ancient people who, with limited knowledge, could not proof their stories wrong.(but we can proof them wrong now)

However, when we now read those creation stories, we feel certain. We feel certain not because the stories are more believable, but because we know the stories are 100% wrong, not "either right or wrong" as the scientific stories.

Now I believe that creation stories evolve into scientific stories as human beings gain more and more knowledge. No boundary is between the creation and scientific stories. I believe that, in some day, science will be myth.  

As I gained more understanding of the evolving universe, a new question rose: what is my position in the universe? (when I looked back at the name of our ESEM: making sense of ourselves, I felt like I have now reached the door of that topic )
