For the same reason that they do today, which is the fact that how we got here will have important implications for what is expected of us. The narrative of Divine Creation, which is contained in Genesis ch.1 and 2, states that God created the universe. This teaches us that God exists, that our lives and the world are not random, and that the created things may be assumed to contain vast wisdom in their beautiful and purposeful design. (In recent decades, this wisdom has indeed been partially revealed, through increasingly powerful microscopes.)Evolution through random mutations, on the other hand, may be understood as implying that life is an accident, that perceived beauty and wisdom are ultimately purposeless, and that our instinctive yearning for the Eternal is just an electrical impulse in our brain.

∙ 9y agoIt is natural for people to want to know why we are here and how the world came to be. As a result, they develop creation stories that seem to make sense in explaining how and why this happened. Although we now know that the world is really billions of years old, thousands of years is long enough in the past to provide a plausible narrative. Often the narratives are simplified by suggesting impossibly long lifespans to the heroes of these stories.
