The Universe ' Two Gods, Unga And Mortis

Is there a difference between the Christian God and the gods in the famous book known as the Odyssey? Should we really care if God or the gods of the odyssey are better or worse than the other or for that matter be thankful that we are ruled by God rather than the Odyssey gods? In many ways they are very different. Sending his only son to die on the cross God, loving and merciful, showed he cared about his mortals, while the gods of The Odyssey will try to kill you even if you slightly offend their children. No caring for mortals there. Surprisingly that’s just one of the many qualities that separates the Odyssey gods to the real almighty God. While that by itself is a pretty convincing fact that our God, who is prince of peace, is better than

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.

Just as there existed beings outside of creation in the Enuma Elish, the Hebrew God was present prior to the formation of the world. As the universe becomes defined in the following stages, the development described in each of the stories show a resemblance in events and the order in which they occurred. It is important to note that light existed, in both stories, independent of celestial bodies. Next, in same order, the sky and ground are created, followed by “luminaries” or the sun, moon and stars. The fact that the sequence of the creation stories is nearly identical “can hardly be accidental” according to some scholars. Subsequently, man is created with elements of divinity, given the task “of working the soil”. At the conclusion of each creation story, the deities rest from their work. While it is necessary to refrain from “exaggerating the influence” found in these similarities, it is equally essential to remain open to the understanding that these works emerged “within a similar conceptual world”.

In the beginning when darkness ruled the universe hideous daemons reined the planet for several millennia till the light caused the daemons to vanish, which lead to believe they were destroyed.

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.

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

1. According to Hesiod, in the beginning there were four primordial beings. Chaos was the first entity to exist, then came Earth (Gaea), Tartarus and Eros . Chaos produced two offspring, Erebus and Night who made love and bore Aether and Day . Earth then gave birth to her son Heaven who would later become her partner. Gaea then through parthenogenesis bore the Mountains and the Sea. Gaea then along with Heaven created the Oceans, Cyclopes and the deities known as the Titans . Heaven fearing for himself after hearing of a prophecy in which his own son would usurp his position among the Gods kept his offspring trapped in the womb of Gaea . This act made Gaea extremely angry and so in order to free her children she crafted a silver sickle, which

The creation of the Earth, human beings, and all that is existent and nonexistent is a topic that has been discussed and pondered as long as time itself. Cosmologies may contrast greatly from region to region, while some cultures’ beliefs run parallel to each other. The Babylonian creation myth detailed in the “Enuma Elis” and one of the Egyptian creation myths narrated in the “Hymn to Aten” outline the culture’s own religious answer to the working of the universe. The “Enuma Elis” follows the story of multiple gods that, when working with and working against each other, create a greater being which ultimately creates human life. The Egyptian “Hymn to Aten” depicts the power of their god and the nature in which their Earth exists. The

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.

Theogony is basically a combination of vast variety of local Greek traditions concerning the gods and the universe, it organized as a narrative poem that tells people the creation of the Universe, which came out from Chaos (nothingness) and how the gods that are created by Chaos shaped the cosmos as we know it. The real focus of the text is to give ideas of Hesiod’s Theogony; “the coming into being of Chaos (the Void), Earth, Eros, Sky and the first generation of gods (lines 116-53).” In the text it is described and explained that Chaos (nothingness) came into being which created Earth, and Desire, and out of Chaos came Darkness (night) and Light (day). It is believed that the Universe is created by Gods, not as what Roman catholic believed. The creation of the Universe kept going after Night and Dat were created. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, after the creation of Night and Day, Earth produced starry Sky, that as big as herself, which can cover her on all sides. Other than that Earth also produced mountains, the pleasant haunts of the gods and gave birth to

Based on the beliefs of Greek mythology there once lived a god named Chaos. His life consisted of a vast, almost never-ending emptiness, darkness, and silence. Eventually, Chaos had two children; Night and Erebus. After years upon years of the depressing blackness then emerged love. With this newly born factor the origins of structure and light began to materialize. Then the creation of Earth came, which occurred naturally due to the appearance of love and

In the beginnings only Chaos existed, then from there on Gaea, the earth mother, came into existence. Then she willed for a man to accompany her, and then Ouranos suddenly appeared. They got married and had twelve kids, the titans. Then she had kids again but they were ugly! She loved them, the problem was Ouranos did not. He got mad and threw them in the depths of tartarus. When Gaea herd she stopped dead and threw a temper tantrum. Then she could not bottle up her feelings any more. She swore revenge while her titan kids felt bad for her. Then it it was time for her revenge. Kronos, the smallest and most power hungry volunteered to do the dirty work, but he had a plan. Gaea and Ouranos had dinner together and suddenly Kronos appeared

In the beginning, there was only a mass of Chaos but over time this mass begin to separate. The lighter more translucent parts ascending to form the heavens while the heavier parts sank to become the Earth. Heaven was given life and form while earth was still liquid and barren. The primordial gods were not pleased, so they gave Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto the task of giving Earth life and form. The two accepted and were given a jeweled spear, Amenonuhoko, to assist them with their tasks. The gods crossed the bridge between Heaven and Earth. Once on Earth, they churned the sea with the bejeweled spear and created Japan's first Island, Onogoro from the salt water still remaining on the blade. The gods built their home there

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

In the beginning, there was nothing... and then, became a being called Exis. He created the whole universe and everything in between; the Real World, the Ether, the Nether, the Aether, and the Void. He created certain beings to live in places he desired; and he created beings that were more powerful than others.
