Crazy Creation Stories

The story of mankind begins with creation. This creative beginning prepares the way for the Bible's story. In creation, we learn how God prepared a place for us to live, how we came to be, and what our purpose is. Mankind began with one man and one woman, although other creation stories differ on that account. There are many accounts of creation told by numerous religions and cultures. Some have many similarities to the Christian view of creation and some are vastly different. Many of them are wildly amusing and some are completely crazy! I think we all agreed on that!

The Native Americans tell a creation story that involves a Bald Eagle, a man made of clay, a woman formed by a feather, and coyote with an interesting job to do. If you would like to re-read that interesting story, here is the link:
