Fear can make a moth seem the size of a bull elephant.

Fear can make a moth seem the size of a bull elephant.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear has the power to distort our perception of reality. When we are afraid, even the smallest or trivial things can appear intimidating and overwhelming, much like a tiny moth being perceived as a massive elephant. It highlights how fear can amplify our anxieties and make us perceive situations or obstacles as far more significant and insurmountable than they truly are. Consequently, it serves as a reminder to confront and overcome our fears in order to clearer see and navigate the challenges that lie before us.

Myths are about the human struggle to deal with the great pa

Myths are about the human struggle to deal with the great passages of time and life - birth, death, marriage, the transitions from childhood to adulthood to old age. They meet a need in the psychological or spiritual nature of humans that has absolutely nothing to do with science. To try to turn a myth into a science, or a science into a myth, is an insult to myths, an insult to religion, and an insult to science. In attempting to do this, creationists have missed the significance, meaning, and sublime nature of myths. They took a beautiful story of creation and re-creation and ruined it.
