Light Born from the Darkness

The beginning of the universe, the act of creation, the mighty space, and the start line... The creation has its unique features, but it is also diverse and changes in the time’s possession. There are myths about the unique creation that are also similar to each other, such as Norse and Greek myths, Genesis, and the Bible. 

The similarity between the three of them is: Nothing. There was nothing before the creation. In Greek mythology, there was chaos. In the Bible, Genesis, there was an earth without form, with darkness in the face of deep—nothing but deep.

Already in the creation myths, mostly, there has been darkness before everything was created. Before the creation of the universe, men and women, there was nothing in there, according to the Norse myth. 

In terms of the point of creation, the significance of the tree is also important in the Biblical Creation and Norse Myth as a similarity. In every religious system, there is good and evil. For instance, in Norse mythology, gods and heroes place. Thus, the significance of the tree in terms of creation is so heavy and important that it addresses creation, beginning, and mainly religion.

There was nothing but fighting and war, in Norse myth. The heroic aspect is important for beginning and end in terms of giving meaning to life. Norse wisdom that related to heroism takes place in the beginning and continues till they go to the grave…

On the other hand, in Greek mythology, there was a universe that gave birth to gods: the idols did not create the universe; the universe created them. It differs from the Biblical myth in that point. The pessimistic points relate to Norse myth with heroic aspects and wars; the ultimate end is also a different point from that point of creation. religionsgion Paganism and Druidism are also completely different styles of religion that are different two myths of creation. 

In Genesis, before God’s creation, there is a complete darkness. With the spirit of God, God says ‘light’ and light appears. Then, into the darkness, God created the good light, and God divided it from the darkness. (Evil and good point, like the example of a tree.) 

The point that must not be forgotten is that light comes from the darkness, as we learned from Genesis. It might be different the style of the creation, but their origin is to love each other. God might have created us in his own image; there would be evil souls in Norse, and there might be gods and goddesses in the spirit of others who can clean thunderbolts. But the origin is similar, and their relationships start at that point.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his image; in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
