Lucretius Creation

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. The Earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep”. There are many stories that talk about how the Earth are created and they all vary depending on the beliefs of the writers. In these stories there are many similarities but there are also a few differences. A good example of these similarities can be found in a few creation stories such as Genesis, Creation by the Hopi, and The World on the Turtle’s Back by the Iroquois. In these three stories there are differences and similarities found when looking at how the Earth was created, where all the evil and good came about from, and how all of the animals got their names.

Next, the appearance of water or setting is brought up by both texts. In (Genesis 1:7), “ God made the expanse, and it separated the water ….”, which gives the establishment of water in the story having water. While in the (Creation of Hymn: line 1,3) water is given a description as “... bottomlessly deep?” and water was also described as “ The life force was covered with emptiness, all this was water….”. Both articles, give statements where water is mystical, deep and empty.

Since then, the origin of the universe became a very big question to everyone. The curiosity we possess help us seek answers from different questions we can think of. Different hypotheses and ideas were formed with great scientific evidence to prove that the universe began as a single primordial atom. The scientists even found out that the universe is expanding because of the great amount of dark matter present in it. However, with these ideas, the religious thinking of people could not be removed. The concept of God being the Creator of all the things that existed contradicts the views of the theories formed. The stories and verses contained in the bible are different from the results of studies connected to it. Here, I investigate the things

Since the beginning of time there has been stories of creation. The bible which is studied and followed by the Hebrews, tells that God created the world and all of it's things. However, the Iroquois states that the world was made and created by a different source, such as how they explain in The World on a Turtle’s Back. Both of these cultures explain what happened before and after each and every creation then they try to explain it in their own way. Different cultures describe and explain creation in different ways whether everyone believes it or not we are all the same.

God is our creator; He came before us and created the universe as we know it. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth”

The Enuma Elish explains this creation by using numerous gods to create earth, for example: Apsu and Tiamat are the water that helps flood the landmass that is later created into earth. Lahmu and Lahumu are the silt that later is turned into the actual earth and dirt that individuals walk on. So the story uses the forces of nature and considers them as gods whereas many people just see rivers and ocean as just water and nothing else.

Creation began by a bodily function of the creator god. Either through ejaculation, sneezing, or spitting the creator began to produce others (Redford). The creator god had other gods come into being and they in turn began to create until the ancient Egyptians had a sufficient explanation for there being here.

In the beginning there was nothing, except God. God made everything out of nothing. He made the heavens, earth, and all things. It took him 6 days and on the seventh day he rested.

Creation. Some people believe that this world was created by the Big Bang, others say that the world was created alone, and others believe in the power that God has to created this world. In Genesis 1 we find the description of creation made by God, introducing with the phrase “in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth”, in summary to the chapter.

At first there was nothing. Only the will of the universe, some would name Fate. It was Fate that brought one of the first Gods into existence, Earth. When Earth was made he looked around and decided that nothing was too empty and created one planet. A planet so big that it filled the nothing with ease.

We all know that our mothers and fathers gave us birth, and grandmothers and grandfathers gave our parents birth. However, what about the beginning? What does the beginning look like? Who created the sky, the earth, the mountains and rivers, the plants, the animals, and the human beings? How was the world created? What happened to the creator? These questions have puzzled and are asked by every people. However, no one has yet found the answers, and I have heard people saying that the creation of life is as impossible as the natural creation of an airplane from a stack of waste. With the willingness of knowing the self, ancient people tried to create mythological stories

the beginning of mankind is story that answers life’s most essential question and that gives life a sense of purpose and meaning. it’s the story that inspires all other stories it's the true story that defines every one of us. This is that story how “did it all began”? like all stories this one begins in the beginning with the author who is god. He spoke everything into being, with a word galaxies appeared with stars and planets. Earth was designed for life to flourish everything God made was gloriously good and breathtakingly perfect. The highlight of the God’s creation was the first man and woman Adam and Eve. God had entrusted everything he created with his beloved children. Giving just one rule, they were not supposed to eat fruit from a specific tree. They lived in loving obedience worshiping God their heavenly father and enjoying perfect harmony with creation each other and God.

There is a huge debate about how the world was created and who was first. It can also be questioned if god created mankind or if mankind created god. There are many different beliefs to how mankind was created but they are all connected in some way. It can be said that god came first because there needed to be one person that then realized more people were needed on Earth as mentioned in the creation myths for Venezuela, Bolivia, and Nigeria. These all talk about different ways that god decided how mankind should be created.

The word of God brought everything into being: heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, and every living thing. In the beginning, God called into existence the heaven and earth. Within six days and he shaped a world of order and beauty.

I believe the origin of life is explained in Ovid’s Metamorphoses;this book explained how Romans believed the world was created. After Chaos arrived the air was not breathable and the land and water were still interchangeable matter. It was only until Gaia, the earth goddess, arrived that Earth became habitable. There is no explanation as to how Chaos and Gaia were formed. Ovid also wrote about the Divine Creator who added lakes, oceans, mountains, and forests to the Earth. The creator then spread the air to the rest of the world. Chaos and Gaia continued to give birth to other beings that would contribute to life like Night, Sky, and the sea as well as Day, Death, and Fate. After the Iron Age, the gods created mortal men to farm and take care
