| | Creation belief |
 | | The Qur'an describes Allah as creator of the heavens and earth and what is between them; for its account of the creation of man, see Adam and Eve#Adam in Islam. | | | Many creation beliefs fall into similar categories: the fractionation of the things of the world from a primordial chaos, the separation of the mother and father god, from an ocean existing before the world, etc. | | | Therefore the doctrine of creation places the knowledge of God central in the pursuit of the knowledge of anything, for everything comes from God. |

| | Feminist Theology |
| | Maori Women's Theology is very different to that of the Middle Class White Feminist Theologians, or the Feminist Theologians that have written volumes of work that inspire us to understand God from a Motherly, Sisterly, Maternal and Feminist Perspective. | | | The Maori Women view of life was acknowledged and needed as part of a tribes existence. | | | We would be an incomplete person of God's creation if we were to continue living a Patriarchal life in a Patriarchal dominated Church. |

| | The Maori Project |
| | The Maori people once had their own religion, but with the arrival of European missionaries and settlers, most were converted to Christianity, specifically Anglican. | | | In 1856, the Maori elected an intertribal leader, King Potatu I. This began what was known as the Maori King Movement. | | | Instead of refusing to give up any of their ways of life, the Maori instead adapted some new traditions of the Europeans, and their culture is now prospering once again. |

| | Maori Mythology |
| | About the middle of the last century certain Maori priests of some of the east coast tribes were consecrating classes in their school of sacred learning with prayers to Io-the-self-creative, a god unknown elsewhere in Polynesia. | | | Not only was it written down by Maori "scribes", but the finer doctrinal points were thrashed out by a committee by Maori priests and elders. | | | She is presented at both the first woman and as a goddess who is guardian of the land of the dead. |

| | World Myths and Legends in Art (Minneapolis Institute of Arts) |
| | Because all humans are descendents of the original divine pair, the Maori believe that it is important to maintain the spiritual power in themselves, and to remain in contact with the various deities of the forest, the weather, the ocean and agriculture. | | | It is also essential to revere and communicate with one's ancestors, who remain present in the community as spiritual protectors of the living. | | | The earth was populated by their descendents in the form of humans, who traveled across the ocean to explore the many islands of Polynesia that comprised their known world. |

| | APRU - Paper |
| | Viriditas could be summarised as a theological concept which sees the greening of creation as a symbol of what the Spirit of God wants to do in human lives, in contrast to the sin of drying up, in which a person or culture lose its ability to create. | | | This closed the "creation ritual" and the worship service continued with the offering, then concerns and prayers of the church. | | | Ethnographic methodology was used in the research of te kete tuaatea, the basket of spiritual knowledge experienced in the ritual of Cityside Baptist Church. |

| | New Zealand - Maori - Creational Myths |
| | Moriori had remained strong in spirit through most of these times but with the eventual taking of all of their ancestral lands by Pakeha and Maori and the stripping of their intense sacredness as a people, Moriori as with many other people groups around the world 'turned to the wall and died". | | | But Moriori were about to be dealt a second blow, one that would seal the fate of them as a people, if it hadn't already been sealed. | | | This meant walking from place to place and taking whatever they saw as their own. |

| | The Samoan Story of Creation |
| | Our myth now turns to the creation of the other gods; every one of these, however, is a Tangaloa, and is therefore not a seperate and independant being, but only a phase, as it were, of the supreme Tangaloa—a distinct manifestation of himself in some one or other of his functions. | | | The gods then created four men to help them to raise the sky again, and two of the gods changed themselves into trees* for the same end. | | | The Polynesian cosmogony has also, the idea of the unity of God; for the gods are all Tangaloa. |

| | It is also a taonga, not only because it is a resource, but because it is an integral part of the Maori perception of their world, and a fundamental means by which they can protect and promote their language and culture. | | | Another aspect was custodianship for people in the past and future, and on behalf of all that is created. | | | A far earlier translation reported by the Rev. Richard Davis, who was at the signing, in his memoirs says “the entire supremacy of their lands, of their settlements, and of all their personal property”. |

| | 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. | | | The author is Polish-born Rabbi Joseph Dov Soloveitchik, the intellectual and spiritual leader of this generation's Modern Orthodox movement. |

| | The sons of Rangi and Papa were by no means unanimous in the decision to separate their parents so a war of the gods followed the separation, in which Tawhirimatea (god of winds) emerged victorious over Tane (god of forests), Tangaroa (god of seas) and others. | | | But he was defeated by Tumatauenga (god of war) and Tumatauenga then turned to defeat his other brothers in retribution for leaving him to battle alone against Tawhirimatea. | | | Inherent in the genealogy of earth and sky, the gods and their human descendants is the notion of evolution and progression." |
