Man kind has always look up at the sky and wondered how we got here and what is our propose. Religion tries to answer this with creation myths. Creation myths tell of how the world was formed and the nature of the world. Most of the major religions have Creation myths, usually with some form of god or higher being creating the world/universe by will alone.



The Islam Creation story tells of the universe come together just by the will of god "the heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit, before We clove them asunder" (21:30). Following this big explosion, Allah "turned to the sky, and it had been (as) smoke. He said to it and to the earth: 'Come together, willingly or unwillingly.' They said: 'We come (together) in willing obedience' This show that god is all powerful and shows the littleness of man. However the text also states that the world was already made but not formed.



In Christianity the universe like in Islam came to be because of the will of god. “1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep:” However god had to make the earth in 7 days. This is different than in Islam because in the Islam creation story the whole world was made at once. “a fifth day. 24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.”



"Brhadaryanka Upanishad 1.4:the world is said to have come into existence because the Primeval One, having become bored being the only being in existence, split Itself into a variety of forms and manifestations (i.e., the material world and all of its beings) so that, through them, It could experience a loving and playful relationship with Itself." "Vishnu's navel, Brahma creates all living beings, as well as the sun, moon, planets, etc. and a number of other gods and demigods.Following Brahma's creative acts, it is then said that Vishnu expanded himself into Ksirodakasayi Visnu (Paramatma) and entered into everything that exists in the material and immaterial spheres." In the Hindu creation myth god made the world but the universe already existed. furthermore the world is not done being made. This is unlike the other religions which state off has already been said and done.
