https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq What comes to mind when you think about how belief systems and/or religions explain the creation of the world? What are some of the ways they describe it? i.e. What is an "origin myth"? If you’re not sure, take your best guess. en-us 2023-09-05 18:21:23 UTC 2023-09-11 14:42:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f914.png https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690708424 When I think of the beginning of the world and how different cultures, religions, or families may interpret it, I think of gods, stories, fairy tales, or science. Things like Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and other religions can play a massive part in people's beliefs for how the beginning of the world happened. ]]> 2023-09-08 13:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690708424 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690708688 What comes to my mind is the belief of Christianity. While I was growing up, I was told that God created the earth in just a few days. Dedicating one day to each different thing here on Earth, for example: Animals were created on one day while plants were created on another, etc. 

And since I am no longer Christian, I believe in something different. I believe that we evolved from a similar species. This is backed up by evidence of homosapians and stuff like that, along with scientific evidence that show that we did in fact evolve from a species WAAYY back when.]]> 2023-09-08 13:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690708688 mirandaguss252 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690708768 When I think about different origin myths I think of the Big Bang Theory, evolving from monkeys, and an all powerful being creating the human race.

Some people believe a higher power created the world, a human with godlike powers, and some people just believe in scientific theories. These are all origin myths. When i hear "origin myth" I for some reason think about the greek and their multiple different gods and stories.]]> 2023-09-08 13:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690708880 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690708950 When I think of life or religion my brain goes blank.

But the way they describe it, is usually some "higher power" and that is why I believe that an origin myth is some sort of story or belief on how something came to be. such as the belief in evolution, and belief in stories like Adam and Eve. So when i think of it, I mainly think of many theories with little truth, that can come together to create a bigger truth.]]> 2023-09-08 13:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690709804 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690710149 When thinking about belief systems I think of how different systems can be. An origin myth is an explanation of where the world came from that may be backed up by some evidence but isn't proven to be correct. These myths can range from religious beliefs like a god creating the world or more scientific beliefs like the big bang theory. These origin beliefs are not right or wrong it just may give people a sense of where they think they came from even if we are not sure exactly of what happened. ]]> 2023-09-08 13:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690710149 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690710281 I believe that the creation of the world is all based on evolution.

Many of the stories of these higher powers come from hundreds or thousands of years ago and people still strongly believe them to this day which I think is very cool and is an important part of our world]]> 2023-09-08 13:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690712115 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690712380 What comes to mind is typically some event that starts everything. Most of the time it is described as some beautiful event. Like in the Bible the 7 days were the days that god created everything and each day one aspect of the world was created.  Some people aslo believe in evolution and how humans evolved from former primates. Each culture has their own way of validating their religion.

I don't know much about how or what he created in those days, because it is something I grew up with but I don't believe in it anymore.

During this time, they believe he created night and day, all animals and humans, and the land and the sea (this is the origin myth I'm most familiar with, I grew up Catholic). Just about every religious group has their own story about the creation of the universe. They may have one god responsible for everything, or many gods who participate in the world's creation.

I believe that Jesus walked the earth, to rid people of sin, to let god know that the human race is not all bad.  I believe that the bible is (opinionated opinion) in fact right, because my family practices this religion, and every other religion i, myself, respect, and also think valid.]]> 2023-09-08 14:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690851744 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690852488 I'm not sure there's too many ideas its impossible to truly know how the world's made up]]> 2023-09-08 14:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690852488 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/iiccx6gw45o2hwlq/wish/2690852959 I was raised as a Christian and I follow Christianity but I don't necessarily believe in anything until it is proven to me.
