Could mythology be considered a science or is it more of a sub-genre of theology?I just want to know if mythology could be used as a science to...

In my opinion, mythology is more of a sub-genre. Since
mythology is interconnected by many other sections of thought such as Philosophy.
Psychology as well, since they both study on mythology of why the people think so,
create such stories etc. Also, I would say that for a book of science fiction, mythology
would act as a minority than a majority. Mythology is better for science writing than a
novel to be considered. Its best pairing can be either psychology or
philosophy.


eg.  "Two things are infinite: the universe and
human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." Albert Einstein's
quote.


Here mythology could be adapted that supports the
view of Einstein himself. Explaining of his own
perspective.


And fantasy would be rather unreliable to use
Mythology at its full potential.


I would suggest science
writing. (eg. human nature)


Examples of this are some
books:


- Human Nature


-
Collected quotes of Albert einstein, or Gandhi's.


All of
this requires thinking.


" Never stop questioning, curiosity
has its own reason for existing."
