Why do religions have creation stories?

Religions have stories/accounts of creations for the same reason you are asking that question: because you want to know. Man has always been curious about our origins. That is why man created the Big Bang Theory and Evolution. Because we want to be able to explain or know how we were created.

What religions believe in creationism?

Some Christian denominations, such as evangelical and fundamentalist groups, believe in creationism, which asserts that the universe and living beings were created by a deity in their present form as described in religious texts like the Bible. Other religions, such as Islam and Judaism, also have creationist beliefs based on their respective sacred texts.


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 do all humans have souls in our bodies?

Depending upon who you ask, you will get a variety of different answers. According to most atheists, humans don't have souls - their consciousness arises as a metafunction of the neuronal processes of the brain, particularly the cerebral cortex. According to most religions, humans were granted souls by a divine Creator. Each religion has its own creation story in which the granting of souls is explained; most of these contradict the creation stories of most other religions.

How do you know the creation story is true?

It can't be conclusively proven in this world. Otherwise we would have no free will.There are Creation-stories all over the world; tens of them if not hundreds. This is because the Creation was a tradition going all the way back and shared by all mankind. As time passed, most of these stories became infiltrated by idolatry, with a phantasmagoria of warring deities. It is the Torah, in Genesis, which preserves the original.See also:Is there evidence for Creation?

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.
