The God Of Light And Darkness

It all started with Uranus and Gaea. They were the first God and Goddess. Gaea is the Goddess of the Earth. Uranus is the God of sky. Another name that refer to Gaea is Mother Earth. Uranus and Gaea First children are called the titans. They had 6 titans, which are boys. They also had 6 titanesses, which are girls. The titan had ridiculous amount of strength. One of the titans was named Cronus. Uranus and Gaea had 3 cyclops children. There names were Lightning, Thunder,and Thunderbolt. The cyclopes are strong smiths. Then Uranus and Gaea had a 3 generation of kids, which were 3 sons. They had 50 heads & 100 strong arms. Uranus put the cyclops and 3rd generation of children into Tartarus. Gaea told her Titan kids to help her and kill Uranus for sending there other kids into Tartarus. Gaea told her children, who ever chooses to kill there father get the title lord of the universe and also free his siblings. Cronus said he would, but his father fled before he got the chance.

Polytheism is the belief in multiple gods. They used these gods to explain natural phenomenons such as storms, droughts, and floods. In the sumerian religion, there were more than 3,000 different gods, many of them, however, were unknown outside their local area of origin. City-states could create their own gods and way of worship, on top of the standardized major gods and worship practices. Some of the major gods the people of Sumer recognized were Enlil, the god of air, Utu, the sun god, Nanna Suen, the moon god, Nin-Khursaga, the Earth goddess, and Enki, the god of waters. The Akkadian people believed in similar gods, just with different names. For example, the god Utu was known as Shamash to Akkadians, Nanna Suen was known as Sin, and Nin-Khursaga was known is Ishtar. To the west of Sumer and Akkad, ancient Egypt was participating in polytheism. The Egyptians also had a system of a widespread recognition of a company of major deities that would rule over local gods created in each cult center. One of the major gods, Ptah, was responsible for creating the world. Other gods include Osiris, Seth, Isiris, Anubis, and Horus. With all the gods having control of nature, the followers were heavily dependent upon them for the success of their harvests and

“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.

In the Aztecs’ story, the first entity was the Earth Goddess Coatlicue, from whom all else sprung. Likewise, in the Greeks’ account, the earth goddess Gaia was the progenitor of the universe. Both are the direct ancestors of all their cultures’ respective deities. Thus, the Aztec and Greek creation myths have deeply rooted

The creation of the gods starts with chaos and from the chaos came the endless gods: Eros, Tartarus, and Gaea (Love, hell, and the earth). Gaea created Uranus, the first ruler of the sky and Eros

Where would the Earth Mother be if she hadn’t been swimming in chaotic waters? That similarity could be drawn to how water is a base element, necessary for keeping basically the entire earth alive. Another similarity could be the fact that each creation myth had multiple gods/goddesses that helped create animals, plants, and men. This feels almost as if there couldn’t be just one creator, even though it all began with a single entity, it ended with multiple entities working towards essentially one big

God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. He separated the light from the darkness he called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” God called the vault “sky.” God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it. God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their

THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THEN THERE WAS LIGHT AS IN GENESIS, CHAPTER ONE, STATED. THE LIGHT GOD CALLED DAY THE DARK HE CALLED NIGHT CREATED A HUMAN BEING THERE IN BEGAN MAN’S

In 1600 BC it was completely dark outside. No one lived and nothing roamed the earth. The earth was created by the land and water god and the nature was created by the nature god. What had not yet been created was the sun and the moon. Later in 1700 BC the god of making human life created 2 people.

There were water animals "Monsters" already in existence, and a women which was the "second generation of sky women to become pregnant without sexual activity". Creation of the earth was immensely different in this story; in fact it was created by mud that the woman placed on the back of the turtle, causing it to grow into a big Island that we today call Earth. After time, a good mind, Enigorio, and a bad mind, Enigonhahetgea, were created. The good mind was bothered with the darkness and he therefor created light, the sun, using the parents head which he then created an orb with. He later constructed the moon, stars, creeks, rivers, forests, fishes, man, and woman. The bad mind also took part in this creation of the earth. He constructed high mountains, waterfalls, great steeps, and various reptiles which would negatively impact mankind. The bad mind and good mind tried to out power each other with the creations of earth. The bad mind creating what could hurt mankind, and the good mind creating what could comfort

According to the ancient Aztec religion, it took the gods five tries to create the world. The first four attempts had failed because the gods were fighting among themselves. Each creator-god would take a turn being the sun in order for the world to function properly so that it would be habitable. The gods had a council and decided that Nanauatl, a lowly, humble god, would have to sacrifice himself to become the sun. But there was a major problem with this, he was not moving. It was then that the gods realized that they would also have to sacrifice themselves so the humans could live. The god Ehecatl sacrificed all the other gods and a strong wind arose to help move the sun. Once they fixed the sun, they recreated the world for the fifth time.

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.

Then God made the land and water. He named the land “earth” and the water was called “sea”. Plants and animals were put on the land and fish and the other water creatures were in the sea. There were birds that flew above land. God told the all the animals, the fish, and the birds to be fruitful and multiply.

The Zoroastrian myth of the creation of the universe starts with Ahura Mazda who is the recognized as the highest god. He created the earth within it a land without flaws. However, Angra Mainyu, evil spirit that stood against Ahura Mazda created demons to alter the created perfection. From the war between these two opposite gods, fresh water turned salty, plants begun to possess thorns, and on flat land hills and mountains developed.

On the third day god creates the land and the sea through the command to the water ‘be gathered together in one place and let the dry land appear'. Next he creates the grass and other foliage such as trees and plants with fruits and seeds.
