Creation Story Research Paper

Who made who? Did God create humans or did humans create god? At first thought one

Understanding the bible, both in its inspiration and authority, shapes how we decipher the stories in the bible and how we receive messages and revelations from God. Fundamentalists and Contextualists have profoundly different assumptions and perspectives when reading bible stories which impacts the messages they receive. In this essay I will address the point of views taken from a Fundamentalists and Contextualist in regards to the world and the human creation accounts, the miracle stories told in the Gospel writings and the story of Mary near the cross at Jesus’ crucifixion.

There was only water and bare, empty land. In the center of this nothingness was a great mountain. This mountain stood tall and proud and it reached all the way into the heavens. At the very top of this mountain lived a pair of every kind of animal. In the center of this heaven grew a tree. This tree was not just any tree, it was the sacred tree of life, and it was not to be harmed in any way.

In the book of Genesis, we are introduced to everything. From the creation stories to the sagas in between Genesis is an opening to the old testament and an opening to the book of exodus. This essay will contrast each creation story and describe each stories interest, explain how Genesis 12: 1-3 links the stories of 2: 4b-11 with the ancestral narratives in 12-50 and connect the sagas of Abraham/Sarah, Isaac/ Rebecca and Jacob/ Racheal.

People have contemplated many different theories about the creation of the world. There are two versions that rival each other and those are the religious and the scientific version.

Myth still remains one of the major links that merges the different cultures and religions from various ethnicities. “The Creation of the Titans and the Gods”, as well as “The Creation, Death, and Rebirth of the Universe”, are among the many creation myths that highlight these combinations. Throughout history, myths have created various similarities and differences between the cultures and religions of the world.

There are many different types of stories, some fairy tales and some are origin myths. Within each story there are different things not seen by just reading the story and not thinking about the deeper meaning behind it. Such as in origin myths there are cultural characteristics. Cultural characteristics are the beliefs of a culture in which its society is based off of. These cultural characteristics can be seen as a blend of beliefs that tie the people to the land around them. This is very evident when looking at the creation stories of ingenious people. Each culture has different characteristics. For example the indigenous creation stories called “The Earth on Turtle’s Back”, “When Grizzlies Walked Upright”, and the Navajo origin legend; all have characteristics of the Native American culture. Such as the Native American cultural characteristics that you should respect animals, nature, and elders. Those cultural characteristics are very evident throughout the first two stories. The third creation story has different cultural characteristics.

The passage that I choose to write about was Genesis chapter 1 verses 1-5. I choose this passage because I was interested in studying how God supposedly created the earth and turned darkness into a world full of life and spirit. Genesis 1 begins by saying “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”(NKJV) I think that the purpose of this verse is to summarize the things that God would do in the future. This text tells us that God existed before the heavens and the earth. We also learn that before God started to create, the earth was empty, dark, and lifeless. The text also represents the beginning of everything earthly by saying God will create life on earth and in

Stories such as Pawnees Creation Myth has characteristics of what we believe today to be our creation story. What Christians believe to be their God corresponds

Once there was 10 planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury), and they were playing football the ball was one of the eight planets. And one day while they were playing football the sun was the football and when the sun was getting thrown it got thrown to the moon and the moon was not paying attention it was too busy looking at this planet name Uranus and when the football was thrown it hit the moon hard and the moon was in half. So while everyone was in shock they were trying to think of a name for the other half of the moon so they were thinking and then the sun was like “ Since it is your other half of the moon how about you name it” So everyone went with the idea of letting the moon

Introduction: God guides and protects us through all crisis by showing his power in faith to overcome. Sometimes we ask God “help us” or “save us” only when a crisis is present in our lives and forget

A creation story is a supernatural story or explanation that describes the beginnings of humanity, earth, life, and the universe. Religion plays a significant role in the establishment of Creation for both the Native Americans and the Puritans. “The people known collectively as the Iroquois were made up of the Mohawk, Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga, and Cayuga nations.” (Cusick 21) “The Iroquois creation myth exists in some twenty-five versions.” (Cusick 22). However, there was no concrete indication from a Native American that coincides with the Iroquois’s belief as of how and when the creation of the world began until David Cusick, transcribed and translated an Iroquois cosmogonic myth in the nineteenth century. David Cusick became the first Native American to record on Atotarho. Grounded in nature the Iroquois religion portrays the natural foundations of the world and continue to believe that all things/people should live in harmony. The Iroquois believes that The Great Spirit would indirectly guide the lives of ordinary people and opposed that The Great Spirit and other forces of good were Evil Spirit and other lesser spirits responsible for disease and other misfortune. Corn, beans, and squash were referred to as the three sisters and thought of as deities or spiritual beings. The Iroquois believed that ordinary humans could not communicate directly with Great Spirit but could do so indirectly by burning tobacco, which carried their prayers to the lesser spirits

In this Paper we will see the seven days of creation as biblical views, and the different kind of theory that tell about the origin creation of this world . From that the gap theory, evolution theory and big bang theory are the main .When I made this research I disprove the weak view of each theory and I put the correct biblical views. In addition to this I analyze the reason that the man can be the highest creation of God

Chapter 2 discusses faith as visualization of, and belief in attainment of desire. It goes on to discuss faith as another word for "Absolute Confidence." When a person has faith in his beliefs then one can say that half of the battle to acquire success is won. Therefore, when faith is combined with the vibration of thought then the subconscious mind picks up the vibration, translates it into spiritual equivalent, and transmits it to infinite intelligence. Knowing how to develop faith is a method by which it does not already exist is very difficult to describe. Faith is a state of mind, which may be developed at, will after the thirteen principles, which can be mastered in this book.

They view God as being sustainer and the creator of the world of both things visible and non-visible. Unlike the other two religions, anthropomorphism is used throughout Christianity. Christians believe that God has human-like characteristics or different human personality traits; these traits allow God to build stronger relationships with his followers. Applying those traits to God allows people to gain a better understanding of some of things that is partially hard to understand fully. Christianity also uses the trinity concept, which is referring to god in three persons, calling him the Father, the Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Christians believe that Jesus Christ was the human form of God, and that people should treat and view Jesus Christ like they treat God the almighty and powerful. The men of God, who were inspired by the Holy Spirit, wrote the bible. The Holy Bible is the guide that Christians use to live and follow there life by day-by-day. Everyone is sinful in the Christian teachings, meaning that you is born with sin, but can be forgiven for as long as you is willing to accept God and his
