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.

Why do most religions have creation stories?

Creation stories serve to explain the origins of the world, humanity, and the universe. They provide a framework for understanding the purpose and meaning of existence, as well as the relationship between humans and the divine. These stories often play a fundamental role in shaping the beliefs, values, and practices of a religious tradition.


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.


What religions believe in creationism?

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 are there different types of religions when we where born out of Adam and eve?

The story of Adam and Eve... is exclusive to the Christian religion. It's exactly that - a 'story' - intended to explain how the human race got here ! Other religions have their own 'creation' stories.


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?
