You will be asked for the class ID number. They are:

The class enrollment password is Judge (with a capital J).
From there, the rest is pretty simple. See me if you have questions.

Creation Myths are in every culture and religion. It is part of human’s higher thinking process, and thus, we have the intellectual pull toward what separated us from the less evolved animals (by mind, that is). People started to come up with ideas, and communicating them to the public. Using free will and our thoughts also somehow inherited by how ever we were created, we choose what creation myth we feel is most correct. As Christians from Judge, most of us believe in the Judeo-Christian belief that one God created everything, from the heavens to the earth and everything on and in between them. As from the other creation myths I heard today, including Dinka, Inuit, Shinto, and Norse, most had similar characteristics. There was a higher, essential power, whether it is looked upon as a God (most common) or another being (such as an animal in the Inuit culture). From that being comes a creation, or several creations based upon how the world was set. One other common aspect we see is that the being usually is in contact with the creation. This may not happen very often (such as in the Judeo-Christian belief), the being could live with or on the creation (such as the Bird “creator” in the Inuit culture), or anything in between. While these are just three of the many common elements, they do show a commonality among humans. Humanity feels that we must have some type of devotion to this being to “please it” or show the being some respect and gratitude that it created us. This can range from just a small prayer said to a feast to celebrate to a sacrifice to “please” the creator and so on and so forth. It almost seems that we, as in humanity, rely on this being to take care of us in our time of need. It is like a parent that we can always turn back to to ask for advice or help. With these creation myths being so similar, it is astonishing the wars that go on because of religions and cultures. Maybe if they could step back, and look upon different religions and cultures as Mr. Baird has asked us to do, there would be less violence in the world.

Creation Myth's have a creator and a creation, usually a god or anything of higher power. It reveals that humanity is always looking to do the right thing in order to follow the life that the god had lived or is teaching. Humanity looks up to the god becasue of the higher power they have.
