Genesis And The World On The Turtle's Back Similarities

CREATION MYTHS Who created us? That’s the real question, and it is in our nature to wonder about the human creation. It’s obvious we all want to know who created this world and more important who created humans? Many have tried to explain our real creation.All the explanations we could possibly imagine, fall in two different categories: scientific and religious.

This difference of the culture impacts the way that the myth is written and told. This is why I think The World on the Turtle’s Back is more realistic, due to the fact it talks about the importance of nature in the human life, and we all know that without nature we wouldn’t survive for very long and I think that in a creation myth we need to remark the nature’s
