Creation

I think they formed a creation story so it could be told and modified for future generations. This reveals that humans rely on stories and traditions of the stories. Yes, creation stories still have a place in the world today because everyone wants to or would like to know what their culture says about where they came from and how they were created.

                                                                                                                      

The Maori and the Aboriginals reveal that they rely on spiritual forms and nature. They value the spirits of Sun Mother and the Father of all spirits. Like when the story says "The great Father of All Spirits was the only one awake. Gently he awoke the Sun Mother. As she opened her eyes a warm ray of light spread towards the sleeping earth. The Father of All Spirits said to the Sun Mother, I have work for you. Go down to the Earth and Wake the sleeping spirits she did which gave them form." 

The similarities and differences between the creation stories are the cultural differences, animals, spirits, and their regions of existence. In the story the Maori (version 1) it’s all about spirits "Papatuanuku and the Ranginui came together, embracing the darkness, and had 70 male children. These offspring became the gods of the Maori."

The problems that creation stories have is spiritual beings or weather we have evolved from something greater? These stories mostly deal with spiritual beings but it goes on what you believe in and what you were brought up on.

For me I like the evolution theory because it proves the existence of dinosaurs and why some monkeys have as much brain power and chromosomes as humans do. But, it was also brought up on the creation theory also because my grandparents are very religious and that’s what they taught me. There are some downsides to evolution because why are there still monkeys in the world today.
