| | Creation myths |
 | | Creation myths are amongst mankind's earliest attempts to explain some of the most profound questions about the nature and origin of the universe. | | | In this creation myth the primordial universe is the bodies of the two gods Papa and Rangi. | | | Another theme that occurs in the P'an Ku creation myth is the idea that the earth or the world or even the entire universe is the bodily remains of a primordial being or deity. |

| | Creation Myths |
| | Relative to "Creation" myths themselves, they should not merely be criticized and dismissed as pseudo-science, but they should be understood as exoteric artifacts of "primitive" magic, mysticism, and Spirituality And it is no longer either necessary or appropriate for religion itself to base itself on "natural" or cosmic arguments for the existence of "God". | | | Popular traditional religion tends to be associated with "Creation" myths, or archetypal and allegorical stories that, in their proposed details, try to account for the existence of the world and mankind as the effects of acts on the part of either one or many Deities. | | | And myths were, therefore, not merely pre-scientific and, thus, according to the scientific view, wrong but myths and myth makers represent the specifically religious form of human culture and individual endeavor, which form of culture and endeavor is, even now, in its greatest moment of struggle. |

| | For the gods create new segments of Cosmos by consorting with each other, and these new segments, being gods, are both created and procreated. | | | Also Orpheus is named among the first who concerned themselves with the origin of the gods and the creation of the world. | | | But if the different sections or gods are created through procreation, then there were times when some of them did not exist, since they are the children of those who came before them. |

| | This homology between creator and created means that human lives, on whatever terms one may live them, have a significance in the whole for peoples who follow these stories. | | | Whether a myth asserts survival of a physical death, a cycle of death and renewal, or some other pattern, human life is valuable and significant within the myth because life mirrors the greater whole. | | | Hindu myths carry this same message, since the aim and perfection of human life is a return to undifferentiated identity with the divine source. |

| | All that adequately worshiped their almighty and glorious creator would be allowed to live for eternity with Nevahitojmag in the ocean of life. | | | The terms of the truce were as follows: Another Man and another Woman were to be created and as long as they worshiped the almighty Nevahitojmag, they would be safe from the torture wished upon them by Sawcadjewich. | | | If, however, the Man or the Woman failed to worship their Great Creator then nothing could be done to stop or prevent the inevitable torture that would follow them after their unfortunate death. |

| | Creation Myths |
| | In this type of creation myth, a father/sky and mother/earth deity are involved in the world's creation, often their separation being the basis for creation. | | | The most famous example of this type of myth is that of the god Ymir from Norse mythology. | | | Many societies believe the world was created from a whole object like an egg, a self-contained item that is brooded upon by a god or force and then opened to reveal a fully created world. |

| | MYTHING LINKS / Common Themes: Creation Myths |
| | One of the questions that perplexes me is how such students can conclude that their ethnic or religious group has the complete explanation of the origin of the earth and its life, when so many ethnic or religious groups have so many different accounts of those origins. | | | We all know that the Bible offers two accounts of the creation of man. We are also aware of the theory suggested by Bible critics attributing these two accounts to two different traditions and sources. | | | A people's belief about the world's beginnings is usually called a creation myth, mythology, story, or tale by other peoples. |

| | The Origin of Creation Myths |
| | The essential categories of all creation myths are directly taught or at least reflected in Genesis. | | | Among the aspects of the early history of the world found in Genesis which are also found in many or most creation stories are the confusion of tongues at Babel, and the flood account. | | | Nonetheless, there is a basic similarity between most creation myths and Genesis. |

| | Comparison of Four African Creation Myths |
| | All four myths directly illustrate the belief that a person is described in terms of his or her family and lineage. | | | The former, after creation is complete, refers to the creator as the "First Ancestor" from which "came forth all the wonders that we see and hold and use" (Leach). | | | In two of the stories, the Yoruba myth and the myth in "An African Story of the Creation of Man," there is absolutely no mention of women in the original creation. |

Then Tagaloa, 'the immoveable' was chief in the heavens. | | | Then Tagaloa, the creator, said to Night and Day:- Let those two boys, the Sun and the Moon, go and follow you two; when day comes; let the Sun follow; also when Night comes, the Moon too comes on. |
