 " A creation myth or
cosmogonic myth is a supernatural
mytho-religious
story or explanation that describes the beginnings of
humanity,
earth,
life,
and the
universe (cosmogony),[ often as a deliberate act by one or more
deities. Many creation myths share broadly similar themes.
Common
motifs include the fractionation of the
things of the world from a primordial chaos; the separation of the
mother and father
gods;
land
emerging from an infinite and timeless ocean; or creation
ex nihilo (English:
out of nothing)."
