Hey all,
I am in the process of putting together my letter to the Kansas Board of
Education in pseudo-support of the FSM Theory of Intelligent Design. In
order to do so, however, I need to select several alternate stories of
creation from real-world myths (i.e. "Old Time Religion") to go into
some detail about.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn a few more details
about the following creation stories, or possibly suggest another
creation story that I might not have thought of but might prove
interesting and/or amusing?
1. The Norse story about a giant killing a cow and somehow making the
world with it
2. The Babylonian tale of Tiamat and Bahamut
3. The Hindu story of the universe springing forth from the navel of a god
4. The Aboriginal myth -- er, theory of intelligent design (I seem to
remember that it was cool but have completely forgotten it)
5. An especially interesting or amusing Native American theory
6. Anything else you can think of that might plausibly be believed by
someone today
Thanks!
