Creation Story A Christian’s higher power, creator, and center of religion: which is God. After my reading I have found that some of the information that Christians live by is explained differently between the two creation stories presented in Genesis. While reading I saw what the Bible actually said God created, and what he asked to be “let” happened. Between the two stories it shows how man was created. Furthermore, while reading I saw how God is personified within the text. In my opinion God is
origins? In comparison of the two stories the world started from the idea or ideas of several gods or god-like spirits. Each story is simplistic yet complex in its own way. Evidence In the beginning of both stories there were many gods or god-like beings that decided to go forth on vast land and create something they could control or govern. Each world creation was started from a single god coming forward and starting each chain of events. Both creation stories show every god coming together
The Ojibway creation story portrays the ecological purpose of “apprehending your dwelling place.” The Original Man was able to apprehend his dwelling place by living in harmony with the rest of creation on Earth. Later on, the tribes that originated from the Original Man began to fight one another over land and disrespected the living things of Earth. Since the people were no longer apprehending their dwelling place, Kitchi-Manitou sent a flood to purify the Earth. New land was created when Nanaboozhoo
Mi’kmaq and Abenaki people use their creation stories to tell how things came to be in the world. These traditional stories are shared from generation to generation to help natives help define who they are as a unique group of people. Art, sculptures, carvings, songs, stories, and spiritual rituals are all ways where both native groups celebrate their culture and tell their creation story. Mi’kmaq The Mi’kmaq people live primarily in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. The Mi’kmaq
however the religious creation stories still play an important role in humankind as they give life purpose and meaning. I will be testing this thesis further by talking about the aboriginal cultural connection with their religion, a dreamtime story “the sun mother”, science and its contribution to our understanding of the universe. Then I will undergo an ethnographic study on Brent Miller to get his view on science and religion. The Dreamtime
Each creation story highlights the most important aspects of the cultures that wrote them. Not only do they show the values of the people, but they can give us an insight into how these cultures might have been.

universe is what baffles even the most faithful of people. Many religions have a version of creation, but the biblical version that many Christians study today encompasses three big ideas: the creation of the universe, the creation of man, and man’s fall from grace. The fall of Adam and Eve, the main “characters” in the creation story, show a continuation of the creation story.

In every culture people have different creation stories from the ancient Aztecs to modern-day. Creation stories myths are symbolic since they are narratives of how the world began and how men were created. These stories or “myths” helped people in the past to explain the world around them (Long, 2015).
