by the by: "Constantine and his buddies" didn't "evaluate hundreds of creation stories" and pick one. They accepted the Hebrew Scriptures from the Septuagint as scriptural. The problem with many people is that they know just enough to be hot headed and opinionated and just not enough to have their facts straight.
btw: Just to head off the postmodernists complaints, Gnostic gospels were never a widespread phenomenon in the early Church, much less were their alternate creation myths holding any real weight by the time of the First Ecumenical Council.
