How does the creation of Earth differ between religions and cultures?

Introduction: Throughout time people have tried to think or come up with how the earth was created and who was the creator I took a look at different religions and cultures to see how they believe the earth came about and the similarities and differences between the groups.

Islam: Significant info: In the Muslim religion people ahave different ways that think of the creation of the earth but they mostly beileve that you must obey God and that Allah is the one who created Adam and Eve and that Allah will take care of you as long as you do as he asks of you and live your life the way he asks of you to and live your life the way God intend. Also he would like for you to pass on the message as a follower of Allah.
 * Allah created Adam and Eve
 * The word Muslim means obdience to God
 * Allan got some followers and peopleand told them to tell people of their wromg doing and was asked to perform a mission to make people righteous and true Muslims these people were called prophets
 * God sent Muhammead as his messenger

Yoruba Culture:

Significant Info: This culture was the most interesting to me they look at the earth into halves and I thought that this was an interting way of looking at it becasue they would say that the top half which is the male is dominant and the bottom half which is the female is to back up the male life purpose.
 * The Yoruba are world famous for the adoration of twins because they think that they bring good fortune to their parents.
 * The Yoruba believe the universe is seperated into two halves the top haf being the male and the bottom half being the female.
 * They also beileve in immorality and reincarnationt of the soul.
 * In the Yoruba religion and culture there is no written scriptures, holy texts are oral

Christians:

Significant info: This religion is very popular among most people, God is the creator of all things and the bible which is their sacred text and in the book there are ten commandments that christians are suppose to live.
 * Their sacred text is the bible
 * That God created the world and all living things
 * That humans are the most inportant of Gods creations
 * Thye believe that when you die you will go to heaven if you confess God as you Lord and savior

In conclusionevery religion and religion/culture has has their own way how the creation of the earth came of the earth came about but inend they all beileve that there is something greater then just human life.
