Currently, I’m reading Mahagatha by Satyarth Nayak, an English translation of a book that offers a unique perspective on the epic story.
It presents a mythological version of the awe-inspiring origins of the universe. In the intricately linked stories, I witness a fascinating personification of planets and other elements of the Universe.
The Creator (Brahma) and Preserver (Vishnu) had several universes rotating inside their bodies. They created and multiplied characters but had no control over their vile thoughts or acts. They had to devise strategies to destroy evil. Everybody is immortal in that sphere, as they talk about meditating for 100 years or having a pregnancy for 10000 years to create an unbeatable force. Going to “the Mortal Universe” is a punishment for certain acts.
While I can discern the symbolism in the book, I find the Creator’s lack of control over its creation complex and intriguing.
Spaceships are made with Intelligent Design, but Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore being stuck in space can give rise to many more myths. Are they blessed or cursed? What lessons will they bring back to Earth? Will they evolve beyond their human form?
Intelligent Design is what we can perceive and assign logic to. Everything else becomes mythology.
Creative Experiments and More 
It may feel logical to think Intelligent Design had a hand in our world, but I question then why are there so many anomalies. One would think Intelligent Design means exactly that – not having a ton of misfires amongst the norm of created.

The anomalies make both Divine Will and the human brain feel imperfect.

Was Brahma a golden egg in an eternal ocean who created himself?

They assume a superpower called “Parabrahma” which is Universal Consciousness. It created Brahma (Creator), Vishnu (Preserver) and Shiva (Destroyer) to form life and death cycles on the planet.
I guess human intelligence could not penetrate layers beyond that.

I probably know less about Hinduism than I do about the rest of the major religions.

I don’t see it as religion, just storytelling with personification of Elements.
