...whats wrong with this?
It fails to recognize the full potential of the conscious aspect.

It's not about how science negates the creations myths; it's about what the creation myths imply about consciousness. Accepted wisom focuses on the evolution of mind as the evolution of consciousness in the individual human animal; but there's no reason to think that's the case. There are many reasons, not the least of which is music, for considering the possibility of some ancient cultural conscious dynamic. As i mentioned before, the division of labor wrt planting and calendar keeping could be considered an example of distributed wisdom.

Abiogenesis is an important part of myown world view. There would origionally have been a competition of chirality. The world would have had a mottled appearance, like a calico cat, wrt its distribution of L- and R- protien populations. The evolution of the first cell membranes with constituent transmembrane protiens is an interesting contemplation; evolutionary truths about walls. And ofcourse, there's the incorporation of the proto-mitochondrial organism into another, larger organism; cool. And then i get to thinking about cells and cities, and common requirements of 'wall.'
