Hello, I'm new here and this is my first post. Growing up, I've always been a skeptic and somewhat of a conspiracy theorist. I believe I was steered towards this mindset at a young age by all the inconsistencies encountered between what I was taught and what I saw first-hand about the world around me. This applies to both science and religion. So many things don't add up when I start investigating the past. Science says the earth formed billions of years ago in a universe that began billions of years before that. I was raised in a Christian home and was taught the Earth and everything on it was created just thousands of years ago over the course of 6 days. Other religions and myths also teach of how their God or gods created the Earth much more recently than billions of years ago. Their stories differ in many ways but they also all have many things in common. The legend of a great flood in our not so distant past can be found in almost all religions or myths around the world as just one example and when I look around with my own eyes I can see so much evidence to back up that claim. Our scientists and archaeologists however, say otherwise.
So which is it? Did all life evolve over eons to become what we now are, or were we all created and placed here in our current forms? Is there any historical truth to the stories handed down over the years or are they just myths? I believe most of these stories are based in historic fact but over the years they each have had parts lost in translation. There is enough commonality left though, I believe, to piece together a picture of what they were all trying to tell us. The following is my attempt to present a creation story that utilizes as many of these commonalities together from all the creation stories I've read combined with the Genesis story of the Bible I was raised with. This is a theory and not meant to offend anyone's religion. Read it as a work of fiction and I look forward to any discussion or debate that follows. Here goes...read attached PDF file. If you want to skip the boring "something from nothing" part and get to the more interesting reading, then skip to the last paragraph on page 3 that starts with "Out of all things created,"
