All that is indisputably true. But you didn’t really answer my question on whether or not you give enough consideration to what’s written in a fairy tale (not whether or not it’s written, not who it’s written by, but the actual claims made therein) to truly consider it evidence to be incorporated into or excluded from your model of the world.

That is because it is a bad question and one of a form for which you have already received responses.
Evidence isn’t usually something you “include” in your model of the world, it’s something you use to categorize models of the world into correct and incorrect ones. Evidence is usually something not interesting in itself, but interesting instrumentally because of the things it’s connected to (caused by).
