How is God's creation story different to the Chinese one?
Just as there are two quite different creation stories in Genesis, plus fragments of a third one in the Psalms and Job, so also are there several Chinese creation stories. This is especially true because China is so large and has so many different traditions, including Buddhism, Daoism and folk religions. With so many different stories, both in the Bible and Chinese belief, there is no simple answer to a simple question like this. Since God is a Semitic concept, God's creation stories are naturally different to the Chinese creation stories. Each creation story is true to its believers.
Why are there so many different dreaming stories and creation ancestors and What link do they have?
In indigenous Australian culture, The Dreaming reers to the time of creation. The stories are linked by common themes of how landforms were created and how particular animals came to be. The Aborigines lived all over Australia, and so their stories linked directly to the landforms and the flora and fauna of their particular locality.

Why is the creation story so similar in different religions?
While there are some similarities among all creation stories, the differences between those from one region and a different region are quite remarkable. The closer two creation stories are in geographic origin, the more similarities you will find.Many early Near Eastern creation stories tell of the world and its people coming into existence through battles between the creator god and the chaos monsters. We see fragments of this genre in Psalms and the Book of Job.The second creation story in Genesis (Genesis 2:4b-20) can be typical of some creation stories from inland, arid regions - there is no mention of the ocean, and plants grew because God had yet to make it rain. This story contains moral themes, a frequent theme of some early creation stories.The first creation story in Genesis (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) is very different from the story in chapter 2. Perhaps the most obvious thing in common between these two stories is the absence of chaos monsters in the narrative. The first creation story is much less like a folk story than is the second one, understandable as it was written in the form we know today by the Priestly Source, who was concerned with theology and the role of the priestly class in Jewish society. The differences are considerable, both in sequence and style. The creation story in Genesis chapter 1 is typical of cultures familiar with the oceans and great rivers. In this first story, God has almost unlimited power and causes things to exist merely by speaking them into existence. In the second story, God needs dirt to model and create Adam, then a rib to create Eve - examples of his more limited powers.Both creation stories in Genesis came from earlier creation stories in Mesopotamia, and reflect similarities to the earlier stories. The imagery of the chaos monsters found in Pslams and the Book of Job, although fragmentary, can also be found in earlier creation stories in the Near East.Answer:Because Creation is a worldwide tradition shared by all ancient societies. Because it actually took place.
What are creation stories used for?
A variety in things. Races like Aboriginals/Africans and other more spiritual ones use the stories to pass something one through generations so they don't lose it completely. Most people just use them to sustain human curiosity. Hope that answers your question. :)
How does the big bang theory tie in with religion?
Not at all. The Big-Bang theory gives a possible explanation of the origin of the universe based on some evidence. Religions do not base their ideas on logic or evidence. There are as many myths and creation stories as there are religions. They say they are given the stories by their gods, but they can't all be right since they have different stories, so I think they just made their stories up.
Why do the Irish tell stories?
== == Stories are a common feature of all cultures and societies, and so cannot be deemed truly Irish. In the old days there was very little to do in Ireland's countryside due to the isolation and lack of cars and so the tradition began.
