I know only one and I would hate to summarize as a myth. I'm a physics graduate so I find the truest part of creation in Genesis 1 verse 3 where God commands there to be darkness divided into light. It took him a whole day to do this, and rightly so. Physics students are always amazed when they first encounter light: it is so very complicated that it would likely take a day to get all its properties in order. You may want to compare that with one of the other stories of creation to see if they agree on the complexity of light and the turn it takes with darkness and what darkness is exactly.
