creation........................................

Many countries have different pholosphies of how the world became and how man became.  But they all start off the same; dark, in the sky, the beginning if life. Either it's a god creating the moon and stars or an animal that made the mountains and rivers.  There all fun to listen to.  Different cultures have different prospectives on how the world began.  For instance, the Eygptian myth was the Nu was the name of the dark swirling chaos before the beginning.  Some stories didn't even start out with nothing.  Some already had gods and they were always there.  Just like the Catholics and Christians believe that God, The Almighty Father was and always will be the beginning and the end of the world and he can control everything.  The mayas had a way were the were two gods and whatever they thought came to life.  What a simple way to make the Earth!  The Inuits believed a raven created started it all.  He had the power to change into a bird to a man by simply lifting up his beak like someone lifts up his mask.  They also had their ways, wether its the gods creating the trees, bushes, and greens, or the animals giving birth to them, they all had food when the humans were made or formed.  They all had different twists into the middle of the story of how man came.  The Egyptians way was the god Autum cried tears if joy when he found his children.  When his tears hit the Earth, they became the first human.  The Inuits believed the pea pods grew and out the first human hit the ground when he was ripe and ready, only, he wasn't ment to be eaten.  They had different ways of how they beared children and how some of them taught the humans how to live, like the Incas.  Pachacamaca was the sun god and he gave birth to his children the regular way.  Unlike the Egyptian god Autum, gave birth to his son by caughing him up, and by giving birth to his daughter by throwing her up.  What a unique way of having children.  In the end, they all have the similarity, they all started with something, and they all had a beginning to man.  And they will all have their stories of how the world ends too.
