My creation myth

I did this as an assignment, and I think it's pretty neat


Creation theory

At first there was nothing. Then, there was something. Anything. Everything. The great hands had sculpted our world from nothing, and yet there it was. Once they were finished with their work, the great hands gave it life. First, the miniscule things, such as bacteria. Then, they gave the life the ability to be unique from itself. Life grew, and started to make bigger things. First, it grew into aquatic things, still starting out small. Then, the fish grew lungs and lost their scales. Finally, the new land-fish grew scales again. They only had to drink water, not be in it. The new creatures (we call them dinosaurs) grew bigger. All the while, palnts had taken over. After having nothing inland for so long, the plants had flourished. Some dinosaurs prefered plants, and others liked to eat meat. Eventually, the hands grew tired of the dinosaurs, and sent a giant meteorite crashing down. The hands had hoped to start anew, but they had failed to notice that there were new, furry creatures that would someday replace the dinosaurs. The furry creatures decided to flee to the ocean, and there they grew tired. Eventually, some of them decided to move on to land, for they had grown tired of the ocean. Others decided to stay, and became things like dolphins and whales. The ones who moved onto land became happy at the sight of fresh greens. However, something seemed different . They noticed that there was no longer one big land, but several different ones. Once again, the creatures rose out of the ocean. To the furry ones' surprise, there were strange, flying creatures covered In feathers, soaring around the sky. The hands had grown busy creating other planets and trying to make life on those. Once the hands had come back to earth, to their suprise, there were furry creatures all over the planet! They noticed that there were strange beings with hair only on their heads, and gave them the gift of intelligence. The 'humans' as they were called, had a natural disadvantage compared to the others, and that is why some became convinced that they were superior to others, and some became one with nature. Others just minded their own business, but all had their own different theory of how the world was created. The hands tried to send more meteors down, but they had run out of nothing. There was something everywhere, and all they could do is watch as the humans dominated.
