Creation Stories

When looking at the world as a whole every culture is known for having creation stories.  I believe these stories were made to explain the reasons for their beliefs and creation.  I believe in the early ages there was always a fear of the unknown and these stories were their ways to explain their existence.  When trying to explain complex views to children, stories are made to make it easier to comprehend.  Creation myths still have a place in the world today and I believe they will always have a place in the world as our stories are passed down from generation to generation.  Creation myths are still used today when trying to explain to children the simple creation of humans.  There is the religious view explaining Adam and Eve, there is the evolution view from being created from apes, and there is the well known childhood story where we were all dropped off by a stork in the midst of the night. 
The stories from the Maori and the Aborigines tell how Australia and New Zealand were all based off the simple fact of nature.  The Maori had a life based off of not only overcoming conflicts but showing how the nature and gods were precious to them.  But it also shows how they wanted to see the "light" by separating their parents.  Both versions of the story explain how the children were very rebelling children.  While looking at the creation stories from the Aborigines.  Their creation myths were based on not only nature but the creation of animals and life.  Peace was the turned into evil and the sun which was the leader of all came down and allowed them to change into what they wanted to be, it showed rebellion as well. Then two creatures (humans) were created and placed on the earth to control and be superior to the lands.
There are many similarities between the three stories. They all created and revolved around nature. Light is necessary for them to survive.  Rebellion was popular from the children, showing how there is still the rebellious stage in children today.  Not only were there similarities but there were differences. Some of these differences were that the Maori's were more about getting the light into their land and separating their parents.  Rebellion was a major part in their creation myth.  Where in the Aborigines' myth nature and light were the main symbols.  The creation of life was what was the most important and how the Mother Sun watched what life she created.
Yes these myths might seem outdated but there are still parts of the stories that still make sense in today's world.  When looking at the revolution of life you see that in both stories there is rebellion with what has been created by the god's and spirit's.  There is still rebellion in children in today's world.  It shows the natural way of human life.   It also still explains how we as people are still the leaders of the land and animals today.
I believe in the story of Adam and Eve because I was brought up religiously based.  This story explains how and why people believe in  high power/God.  And how we have become where we are in the religious world today.  These stories portray a glimpse to what our ancestors believed in.  There also is the evolution theory which has recently been passed around and has been put into thought, but it is new to the world today and it shows that there is a scientific answer to everything.  But I believe in the higher power that has been believe in for centuries not the science that has been around for just about 50 years. I believe in a life after death with a higher power which has given the relief to the thought of death to many people because they will then be with their God.
