Big Bang as a Creation Myth
The Big Bang narrative is for sure a Creation Myth, since it's a folk symbolic/metaphoric narrative of a scientific hypothesis. For reference:

 * Two of those are the same as each other with uncertain reliability, one is a file-sharing site with no provenance of content, one uses term myth to mean a misconcception but it's talking about whether the Big Bang was really the beginning of everything. Taken together, I don't see anything to do with these refs at this time. DMacks (talk) 22:37, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Suggested name alteration to "Creation narrative"
I feel that this article would be more objective if the name was changed to "Creation narrative", as this would be more objective than "Creation myth", a title which unobjectively paints the subject matter as being definitively a myth. Joieman (talk) 15:45, 22 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, . The article title would need to follow WP:COMMONAME. You can set up a WP:RM discussion and make the case based on that guideline why "creation narrative" should be used instead of "creation myth". For example, a look at Google Scholar shows since 2020 that "creation myth" has 6,130 results here where "creation narrative" has 3,120 results here.

 * Please look at the top of this page and read the links there. I also need to ask if you have read the article completely.  Doug Weller  talk 16:24, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
