Whether Yudkowsky is biased or not is irrelevant to the purpose of his post.

This:

I think there's a bias about religion here, that needs to be overcome.

Was basically just an attempt to be clever making a play on words related to "Overcoming Bias". They were all the rage.

Wow, I was coming to edit this post, and you responded so quickly...well, thank you.

I foolishly neglected to research this creation myth before commenting. I now can see how this myth could be purposely using symbolical language. But I wouldn't know how to correctly understand it, without over-interpreting it. (That is if its worth interpreting.)
