In the beginning

[yella_dawg]

the Earth was a lifeless place, covered with arid deserts and boiling volcanoes. It was a time of primordial chaos. From the dull, dark heavens came a trickle of water. First came a single drop, then another, until it became a flood. The waters moistened the arid soil, cooled the burning volcanoes, and the sky became clear and blue.

The divine waters brought forth life across the Earth. From the moist soil sprouted a tree, an Oak, the sacred Bile. Danu, the divine waters, nurtured the tree, and from that union sprang two acorns. From the first acorn sprang The Dagda, the good God, from the other sprang Brigantu, The Exalted Goddess. They looked at each other with wonder, for they knew their task was to bring order to the chaos, and to people the world with the Children of Danu, the Mother Goddess, the waters that brought life.




Okay, there's my creation myth. It works just fine, and Lo!, it also fits perfectly well with known scientific findings. I want it taught in the schools. Evolution plugs right in. As the creation story unfolds, there are plenty of hooks for creation, biology, archeology, whatever. If we're gonna do this, lets do it right.

Buddhists, your next.

1. All the stuff you said... Plus...

About 500,000 years ago Aliens from another planet visited Earth and
"did things" to a native creature... They had planned on
using dolphins, but, monkeys were so much easier to catch.

Lazy aliens.

Anybody?

3. The Buddhist view

The universe consist of an infinite amount of living beings whose karmic potential called this universe into existance as a place to live. The world which we are living in exists because our own desires and cravings. That's why we are here.

So no creation. But since minds and beings evolve there is evolution.

6. I have two Navajo creation story sand paintings in my house...

Are there any Navajos out there to tell me the story?

It's great! I especially like the part about the coyote stealing
fire and giving it to man.

Also, that the last creature in the end times will be a coyote.

7. The Gipsy creation story (might offend some people)

I have to recall it from memory and the learned when I was 8, so it's probably not accurate.

God decided to create the earth. So he made the flowers and the ocean and birds and the animal. And he was quite pleased with it, but one thing was missing. There needed to be somebody to take care of the planet. So he took some dirt and made a man and a woman of it and baked it in the oven.

But God left it in the oven for too long and it came out black. Well God put man and woman on earth and thought of giving it a second try. So he got some more clay and made another man and a woman. But this time God didn't leave it long enough and it turned out to be pale and didn't look right. Once again God put the man and the woman on earth

It was no time for the perfect being. So he timed it between the first and the second attempt and the man and the woman came out perfectly brown. And that is how people were created and why they look different.

8. I've heard some variations of that story over the years.

Any more?

9. Attention all you Intelligent Designers out there... Now's your chance.

Tell it like it is, baby.
