Whether it is the creation of plants or the cosmos, origin stories and theories have been concepts at the forefront of human curiosity.

Creation Motifs In my opinion, 3 of the most common motifs in creation myths are The creation of humans, Step - by - Step myths, and Parts of a god for a planet.

Along with the the discussion of the Biblical view of creation, it is also necessary to assess when this event occurred, and what further impact in had on later history.
