Creation myths of different world religions - help for school
Wasn't sure where to post this, hope it's OK to ask here...
My friend needs information about "theories" or myths of world creation in different religions... Like Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism and so on... I found her some links on Google, but maybe you people have some reccomendations? She's writing an essay for homework.
Thanks for your help!

Please note this is FACT unlike silly joke religions
I wouldn't include that one in a school paper though!
http://www.godchecker.com/ lists all of the various gods
http://www.religioustolerance.org/worldrel.htm talks about every current world religion and I think if you click on them it tells you what each one adheres to and will probably be one of the most in depth sites you'll find
http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_denom.htm this part talks about what the origin beliefs are for several different religions.
Those few sites could pretty much answer everything.
http://www.muddlepuddle.co.uk/Religion/creationmyth.htm has a few

Well...that's a start.

Too truthful?
No seriously, why not?

Thanks Lynette and everyone else, you've been helpful. I suggested to this friend to include the FSM creation myth as an extra, too, but only if the teacher is an open-minded person.
As far as I know nobody actually believes in the FSM. True, actual religions are less rational than pastafarianism, but people believe in them. And if the teacher happens to be religious, it could hurt.

Actually, I agree completely. If the teacher is overly serious or religious it would be quite detrimental to his marks for that paper at the very least to mention his noodlyness. It's be something you could only get away with if you suspect your teacher has a sense of humour.
