Creation StoriesWhere do we come from? The creation of the world has been told for centuries through many different stories, in different languages ​​and by various religions around the world. The founders of each religion developed each creation story, and as religions vary greatly in terms of their beliefs, their stories of how the world and humanity were created vary greatly. Although many of these creation stories differ, they have a close mystical and spiritual connection that brings people together. Two particular creation stories from very diverse religions are those of the Native Americans and the Christians. Unlike Christians who worship a single god, Native Americans worship two high gods as well as a variety of natural and supernatural forces. Although the two stories may differ from each other in determining their belief in creation, they are both similar in that both religions believe that through ceremonies and worship they will be in harmony with God. Through their creation stories, we can interact with their understanding of the world around them, how they view life, and how they are compatible and incompatible with each other. Native Americans believe that all things in nature have spiritual value in life, they use animals, insects, plants and other forms of nature to symbolize spirits in their stories.

The Native American creation story reveals that they understand the world as a place of equality. In the following passage, the creation of man is represented using different clays: ? The spider woman used the clay of the earth, red, yellow, white and black, to create...... middle of paper ...... But for some Native Americans, they believe that when they die , their soul takes shape as a part of nature, whether it is a bird, a tree, or a wolf, and like their ancestors, they will serve as guardians to their people after them. After learning the different stories that Native American and Christian religions describe about creation, I have come to the conclusion that they all bear a similarity to each other despite their other differences. They both believe that a higher force, for Native Americans it was the Spider Woman and for Christians it was God, created the earth and humanity. For such religions, the scientific explanation of creation has no importance in their lives, because their faith and the teachings of the history of creation justify their belief. Across the world, the cultures, languages, and beliefs that separate people from one another are erased when it comes to the story of our beginnings, our story of creation.
