Last week, we were given the assignment of breaking the class into groups and coming up with our own creation stories together. And though we haven't been working on it for that long, I have to say, it's an interesting assignment.
There's a lot to consider when it comes to a creation story. Will there be one god or a pantheon of gods or goddesses? Will there be evil gods that oppose the other gods? How will humans be created? Or will the story be grounded more in science and ignore the fantastic? In my group, we've decided to go for a fantastic tale about a group of goddesses who create the world together.
But, even though we've decided some of the elements of our story, there's also the matter of what medium to use. I won't say what we're considering, but I will say it's not a spreadsheet. I don't think any of us know enough about Excel to attempt it.
I hope someone else tries, though, and I hope all the groups can make their own unique creation stories.
