Everyone knows the creator was Pangu. He emerged from the Cosmic Egg wherein the principles of Yin and Yang became balanced.
Pangu created the earth and sky such that they were joined together. However, Pangu then spent the next 18,000 years pushing earth and sky apart at a rate of ten feet per day.
The evidence for this is what we are told in the Sanwu Liji
Actually, it could have been Ymir who was born from poison and frost. Ymir who suckled the great cow Audumla.
From Audumla was born Buri, who fathered Borr, who fathered Odin, Vili and Ve.
Borr's sons slew Ymir and created the earth from his body.
Ask and Embla were the first man and woman and they were created from an Ash tree and elm tree respectively.
The evidence for this is in the Eddas
Silly me.
In the beginning it was just darkness, Vishnu and a giant cobra in whose coils Vishnu slept.
When Vishnu awoke he created Brahma from a lotus and Brahma went on to create everything else.
Yes, that's it.
The evidence is in the Vedas
Hang on
In the beginning, creation was a giant cloud. The lighter parts became heaven and the heavier parts became ocean.
From the ocean a sprout grew and became a gigantic flower and when it opened, the first god appeared.
The first god created Izanagi and his wife Izanami. Together they thrust a jewel encrusted spear into the ocean and when they pulled it up, out popped the islands of Japan.
Izanagi and Izanami descended to Japan and used it for a base to create the rest of the world.
That must be true and there is evidence of this in the Kojiki
Wait a minute - here's another.
This time God created the world in six days.
He started with the day and night, then the sky, sea and earth, then the sun, moon and stars.
Then the animals and then Adam the first man. Later on he created the first woman from Adam's rib.
The evidence for this is found in Genesis.
