Do not confuse theology with philosophy. A philosopher will argue the case for or against the existence of a God or gods. For a theologian, the question of God's existence has already been answered. What is to be debated theologically is the nature of God or the gods. And mythology is part of theology. Logic, a branch of philosophy, can be used to establish at least the intellectual existence of a God or gods. And logic is on the side of the existence of a metaphysical being simply because the odds of the physical universe functioning as it does demands that there be a God or gods. To think that everything exists & operates merely by blind chance is illogical; aka magical thinking.
