Best Answer

Like all creation myths the Enuma Elish [Babylonian creation myth] begins with the Universe in a formless state [the nothing,the void] from which emerge two primary Gods.

APSU [MALE] The sweet waters and TIAMAT [FEMALE] Salt primevil waters.

After the waters mix- so begins the creation of all else - Sky,Thunder,Earth,Sea,Vegetation etc down to the first humans to walk upon the land.

There is no cut and dried answer to this question. All forms of life, whether scabies mites, animals, insects, humans, plants, etc., originated or were created in the same manner. For some of us, they originated (created and given life) by our creator, God. Others feel they originated after the "big bang", when the earth, and all life forms were created and/or evolved.
