First, the Hebrew creation story told of one God who created the world in six days. He made everything present on the earth, as well as, man and woman. He made man in his own image, so he himself looked like a human. God was over everything that was pure and good. However, a serpent was present in the place where God had put the man and woman. The serpent was evil and it persuaded the woman and man to disobey God's wishes. The human's role in the Hebrew story was to multiply, be fruitful, and rule all things on the earth. The Hebrew story consisted of only one god, unlike the other stories in which there were many gods, who had a distinct power. The human's role in this creation story is to multiply and rule, whereas, humans in the other stories are ruled by the gods or humans

Last, the Hindu creation story told of Purusa. Purusa was a sacrificial god. He was the Lord of immortality and the only Lord. He had one thousand heads, one thousand eyes, and one thousand feet. Three fourths of him was immortal up in Heaven and one fourth of him was all beings. His body was divided into many different parts. From his spirit came the moon. His eyes produced the sun. Indra, the storm and war god, and Agni, the god of fire, came from his mouth. The wind came from his breath. His stomach was the sky, his head was heaven, and his feet the earth. Purusa was like the Hebrew god, because they were both considered the only Lord. However, they were different because the Hebrew god looks like a man and Purusa does not. Purusa is a sacrificial god, unlike all of the other gods in the other stories. The only mention of humans in this story was explaining how the classes of people were arranged on Purusa's body.

Finally, all of the creation stories were similar in ways, but different in other ways. The Hebrew story told of one God who was the ruler and maker of everything. He made man and woman to multiply and rule the earth. The Greek story had many gods. Every god had his/her own special power over something. In the Japanese creation story, Heaven and Earth made a god and many deities. Last, the Hindu story told of Purusa, a sacrificial god, who's parts were divided into all of the characteristics of heaven and earth.

Next, the Greek creation story contained many gods. The first god was Chaos. Gaia (Earth) was next and was a place for all of the immortals who lived on Olympus. Tartarus lived in a deep hole inside Earth. Eros was the most good-looking of the immortals. Black Night and Erebus came from Chaos. Night had Aether and Day. Ouranos (Heaven)
