Regardless of its truth or otherwise, the biblical creation story ought not affect us in our everyday lives. But it does.
In some countries it is said that over half the population believes in the literal truth of biblical creation. This affects us all, because such a widespread belief in 'creationism' results in pressure on the school systems of those countries to teach creationism as part of the mainstream curriculum, rather than just as religious instruction. This impoverishes the teaching of science and could result in long-term damage to the competitiveness of the nation.

Why is the creation story important?
The 'Creation' story in Genesis 1 & 2 is actually a renewal of the Earth already present but under water and in darkness (Psalm 104:30). God does not create vainly as several Scriptures plainly state. That being said, the importance of the story has it telling mankind that we are made different from the others in the creation - we are made after the God-kind, in Their image and likeness. We are given authority over all things in this physical world - to be good managers of them all and to continue to beautify this world. Unfortunately, we have not achieved this end and in many cases have done quite the opposite in destroying many things/creatures. The story tells of our 1st parents having the opportunity to receive eternal life but chose to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The long and at many times painful history of man begins. Yet there is great hope after God removed the humans out of the garden and rebuked the serpent (Satan). God promised to 'heal' the breach mankind created by their sin of pride and disobedience. He would send a Savior (Jesus who confirmed the beginning) to give us a path to eternity as His future children - the purpose for our being.
What is the status of human beings in the process of creation?
AnswerLeon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that in the first creation story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a), man is made directly in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), but in the second story (Genesis 2:4b, ff), man only becomes god-like at the end - "now the man is become like one of us" (Genesis 3:22) and only because of a transgression.
Why is the creation story so important?
Because to those who believe in Creation, it is how their life began on earth. The Torah creation-account, unlike various ancient stories, does not attribute creation to a multitude of warring, flawed deities and their demigod offspring. In addition, the Torah account makes human responsibility foremost, stressing the lesson that the world is not a happy-go-lucky place in which people may cavort unthinkingly; and nor is it a melancholy accident whose existence is ultimately purposeless.
How does the Biblical creation story differ from Igorot creation stories?
The story regarding the creation as told in scripture is straight forward and to the point. The only legitimate questions that would come out of the biblical account would be "How did God do it?". This writers opinion would have to say that God had the power to organise matter which already existed in the universe. That this matter had intelligence to obey a higher law i.e God. For there to be some kind of super being called God to have done all of this is beyond the comprehension of some mortals, so in their own misguided way they attempt to come up with some other logical way of explaining the creation. I lay no blame at their door as God has given us the intelligence to reason things out in our own minds. So what is the truth? The bible account that God organised all things to serve His purpose, or man's account to denigh God His might and power and to bask in their own lime light?
