A Comparison of the Creation Stories of Hindu,.
There are many different creation stories from around the world. I"m going to describe three stories from different beliefs. The first is the story of the Hindu religion. Then I"ll tell you about the Greek myths. The Norse myths are also very interesting. They all have different creation stories, but share same elements.
The Hindu religion is a very interesting one, and its creation story only makes it more so. According to the Rig-Veda, creation begins in a state of hollow darkness; nothingness does not even exist. There is only one, one who breathes without air, and lives without tangible nourishment. He is Brahman, "that one," and he is the essence of all beings. Desire came to him to produce new creatures, and he wanted to make them out of his own body. He created the waters, put his seed in them, and the seed swelled into a golden egg from which he himself was born. The upper half of the seed became the heavens, and the lower half became the earth. That is how the Hindu beginning began. .
In Judaism, creation begins with God. He alone created the heaven and earth. The earth was like that of the Hindus, a dark, shapeless void. Then God created light, which he separated from the dark, and from these he created day and night. He then made a firmament that he named Heaven. He brought dry land, fruitful plants, and two great lights to rule over day and night. He then brought forth moving creatures of land and sea. Finally, he made man in his own image to rule over the beasts. That is how the Genesis tells of this beginning.
