The premise of the question is incorrect. Christians believe for the most part in the biblical creation account in Genesis. This was confirmed in the person Jesus when He walked the earth. All other 'myths' are speculation with no eye witnesses.

∙ 10y agoThe reason they are similar is due to the fact creation and this question proves it that it is a "universal" truth and that God is the "creator" of all things and this is why there is a similarity. That is what is called an validation of an "undeniable" truth.

Is Noah's Ark a creation story?
A:Yes. I would consider everything from the story of Adam and Eve (chapter 2) through to the story of the Flood to be a continuous creation story, in the same genre as creation stories in other ancient religions, although there are minor discontinuities resulting from later redaction. Genesis chapter 1, through to 2:4a, is a creation story separate from the story of Adam and Eve.
Genesis 1 is the broad outline and Genesis 2 fills in details where would Genesis 2 best fit into Genesis 1?
More correctly, Genesis 1 through to 2:4a is a general outline of the whole creation and the rest deals with the creation of man and his position over creation and the relationship between man and woman. Thus the detail which is in the second section deals with and enlarges upon the creation of man mentioned in a general sense in Genesis 1. This is in line with known ancient practice from other ancient writings. So, if one is trying to fit Genesis 2 into Genesis 1 it belongs in the part dealing with the creation of man.
Why do most religions have creation stories?
Creation stories serve to explain the origins of the world, humanity, and the universe. They provide a framework for understanding the purpose and meaning of existence, as well as the relationship between humans and the divine. These stories often play a fundamental role in shaping the beliefs, values, and practices of a religious tradition.

"And God said ..." (In the context of actual creation: Genesis 1:3,6,9,11,14,20,24,26). The more ancient Yahwist creation story in Genesis 2:4b-2:20 has limits to God's power. He needed dust to create Adam, a rib before he could create Eve. But in this, the Priestly account, God merely said that something should be created, and it was created.
