*Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), - This comes in two versions, one from Genesis 1 and one from Genesis 2. In the first account, in the beginning the world is a great body of water. God then producs over a period of six days the sky, stars, the sun and moon, land, plants, animals. Finally on the sixth day he creates human beings. On the seventh day he rests. The second account concentrates on the creation of human beings; first a man, Adam, is created out of clay, then a woman, Eve, is created from Adam's rib.
