CREATION STORIES

As far as finding a credible creation story, the ones I read have not convinced me that life was created the way the stories indicate.  I have not done any extensive research on either of the theories.  Something as delicate as how humans, animal, and nature requires thorough scientific data for me to completely trust.  However, I do find the theory of humans being made from clay the most interesting.  The skin is delicate like clay and can be different colors like it.

There are several similarities between clay and human.  When humans pass away, they are returned to the ground where clay normally starts.  Whether the human body is buried whole, cremated and buried, or cremated and thrown in the water, the remains return to the ground in someway.  Clay can be molded into anything.  A human being can become anything they want if placed in the right conditions. 

The Maori story is very similar to real life events.  They separated heaven and earth and may have seen earth as hell.  We have separation of heaven and hell, with of course hell being as it is.  God and Satan separated and created heaven and hell with Satan trying to get revenge on God.  God of course, seeks no revenge from Satan and only wants purity from him.
