Note: Any and all stories that have not been scientifically proven, I am counting as a myth. This includes religious beliefs, no offence is intended.
What better place is there when looking at myths than “in the beginning”. Pretty much every culture has their own belief on how things came to be. I am going to look at, and compare just a few of them.
Christianity
As told in Genesis
The book of Genesis states the seven days of creation. It says that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was currently formless. On the first day God said “Let There Be Light” and then there was light. God separated the light from the darkness, he called the light day and the dark night.
On the second day God said “let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water”. He called the vault sky.
On day three God said “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” He called the dry parts the land and the waters the sea. “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.” And so the ground started growing plants.
On the fourth day God created a greater and lesser light. He called the greater light the sun and the lesser light the moon. He also created the stars.
On day five God said “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” He then blessed them and told them to reproduce.
On the sixth day God created the beasts of the land. Genesis also says that God said “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” and so he created mankind, male and female he created them.
On the seventh and final day of creation God rested.
