Creation Myths Come in Many Forms.

[MineralMan]

Sometimes a deity gives birth to the universe.

Sometimes a deity vomits up the universe.

Sometimes a deity speaks it into existence.

Sometimes the universe already exists and the deity organizes it.

And sometimes, it's just turtles standing on each other's backs, all the way down.

In any case, all of those stories are pure mythology. They have nothing to do with the actual beginning of the universe, which we are getting closer and closer to understanding. That beginning has nothing at all to do with mythological deities. It's an actual, physical event. No deity required.
