None of these stories and writings have much scientific value, but they offer infinite wisdom to those who approach them humbly.

All of these stories were made up by human beings more often than not to justify the merciless oppression of other human beings. There is no inherent wisdom here, infinite or other otherwise, just cunningly contrived narratives with no intrinsic value whatsoever other than in helping us to appreciate just how good we are at a) making this shit up in the first place and b) convincing ourselves it is true in the second - much less putting men, women & children to the sword if they happen to see things differently. Their ultimate value, of course, lies in enabling us to see that, as with the stories, we made up the characters too; we invented every god and demon, even unto the God of Abraham himself, flinging our stories into the darkness of our ignorance and only managing to make things even darker.

We approach them humbly if only to remember that darkness, which lingers even unto our times, in which people are routinely savaged, maimed, tortured, oppressed, persecuted - and all because of a bunch of stories we made up long ago - a bunch of lies basically, lived with in lieu of truth, because we knew (just as many of us today have elected to know) no better.
