Is the Biblical creation story a myth?

[JAYGRAY]

I find it almost impossible to believe that the story of creation as presented in Genesis is meant to be taken literally, but rather as a myth. Is that ok? I think Myth means that there are basic truths there, such as that man disappointed God with his selfish behavior etc, but not that death was never present in the world until man sinned etc.
