  1. I am studying mythology, folklore, and religion and as far as I know, I haven't found a culture yet that lacks a creation story. Nearly every culture has a flood story and every culture I have found so far has a creation myth or many creation myths.

    Humans are naturally curious, once we realize we're here, we all want to know why.


  2. no

  3. i have never heard or read about one in all my years of anthropology.  Cosmology is fundamental to many many facets of societies, some of them are extraordinary!!!

    having said that, the west certainly has a huge void before the big bang event.

  4. no ,because it all come sfrom the first civilized peoples belief which was hard to let go after seing the societies prosperity,and going back home. mans greed alone and want for things and success caused him to adopt the creation belief with his own twist.  word of mouth is how these stories live of course.

  5. I don't think so.. everyone has a story or a legend that think is the reason to why something exists.
