Example Of Creation Stories
Every tribe, nation, or group of people has their own creation story. Many of the stories have similar elements, but each story has key
characteristics that make it unique. Numerous people are puzzled by the need for origin stories. The truth is that these stories are necessary,

People. For Christians, Adam was made from the dust, and Eve, the first woman, was made from one of Adam's ribs. Both of these stories show
that humans come from the earth and are one with the earth. There is, however, a distinction between the appearance of humans and the rest of
