  1. There's the Big Bang Theory, the Scientists Evolution theory, and the Creation, or Book of Genesis theory.


  2. read about the hopi indian creation myth. we live in the 4th world.according to the myth.

  3. Norse mythology: Midgard(Earth) is a realm in Norse mythology. Pictured as placed somewhere in the middle of Yggdrasil, Midgard is surrounded by a world of water, or ocean, that is impassable. The ocean is inhabited by the great sea serpent Jörmungandr (Miðgarðsormr), who is so huge that he encircles the world entirely, grasping his own tail. The concept is similar to that of the Ouroboros.

    In Norse mythology, Miðgarðr became applied to the wall around the world that the gods constructed from the eyebrows of the giant Ymir as a defence against the Jotuns who lived in Jotunheim, west of Mannheim, "the home of men," a word used to refer to the entire world (there is no direct relation to the German city of Mannheim, which is attested from the 8th century, named after an early settler called Manno).

    The realm was said to have been formed from the flesh and blood of Ymir, his flesh constituting the land and his blood the oceans, and was connected to Asgard by the Bifrost Bridge, guarded by Heimdall.

    Greek mythology: The most widely accepted account of beginning of things as reported by Hesiod's Theogony, starts with Chaos, a yawning nothingness. Out of the void emerged Ge or Gaia (the Earth) and some other primary divine beings: Eros (Love), the Abyss (the Tartarus), and the Erebus.[23] Without male assistance Gaia gave birth to Uranus (the Sky) who then fertilised her.

    Islam: The creation narrative of Islam is split among many verses in the Qur'an. According to the Qur'an, the skies and the earth were joined together as one unit of creation, after which they were "cloved asunder".. After parting of both, they simultaneously came into their present shape after going through a phase when they were smoke-like(See Nebular Gases). The Qur'an states that creation took 6 long spans of time, rather than 6 literal days

    I also gave the link on wikipedia for a bunch more. Take your pick and have fun

  4. The Judeo-Christian creation story told in the book of Genesis is very fascinating. But I think my favorite of the creation stories I've read so far is this one told by the Bushongo people of Africa. In it, a god named Bumba creates the earth, people, animals, the heavens, etc., by vomiting them up!
