Why are people interested in how the world was created?

Answer 1

It seems to be human nature to want to know how and where things began. In the matter of the creation of the world, religious people rely on their sacred texts (like The Bible, the Vedas, the Qur'an, etc.) which tell them that the world was created by their God. But there are many different creation stories in the world's religions, and not everyone believes they are accurate. Scientists are often skeptical of Biblical accounts of creation; and even some members of the various religions want to know more about how the world came to be (or if it always was, and had no beginning). Thus, the debate continues: new scientific discoveries provide theories about how the universe was created, and religious scholars delve into sacred scriptures to offer entirely different explanations.
