aven. The Buddha is a Buddhist myth called "How the World Evolved". They do believe there god was the creator, but that the world goes through successive periods of expansion and contraction, unaffected by the activities of the gods. We all go through the "wheel of rebirth...People can become "awakened" to the absolute and can escape the otherwise inevitable round of rebirth, suffering, and mortality." What's awakened? Does that mean to realize something or awake from the cycle of rebirth? We all live in the "World of Radiance". Everyone is rebirth. Whoever "awakened" will become creator and go to another world called the "World of Brahma". Brahma was the first one born in the World of Brahma. The world was empty. He was the first one who arrived to the new world. He called himself "the Father of all that is or is to be." There are more gods later on, but he claims to be the first one who was born. He also claims to be the most powerful god in the World of Brahma. When we compare these three stories, each story states what they believe in. And sometime these stories can attack each other. In Jinasena obviously did not believe in the existence of god. The myth often asks the reader to prove that there is no god. Asking how he created the earth; why did he create nature, and so on. It leads to the point that the earth exists by itself. We live by ourselves. They did mention rebirth for souls. In Buddhist myth, they also believed in the cycle of rebirth. But Buddha added that when a person awakened, he could escape from the "wheel of rebirth." Then that soul will become venture to the "World of Brahma." In Genesis, the story focuses on god's creation. It does not involve other gods. It believes in only one god. The first god on earth, who has the mighty power of control everything. Can we believe in god? Does god exist? Sometime I wander why dinosaurs existed before human. Can religious teaching be taught in a public classroom? These quest...
