Creation Myths Quotes

Over the years, myths were built up about my relationship with Fred Astaire. The general public thought he was a Svengali, who snapped his fingers for his little Trilby to obey; in their eyes, my career was his creation Picture Quote #1

We are not perfect. What God is Examine yours. According to your mythos he was so disappointed with his initial efforts creating your race that he tried again. At least we imprisoned our mistakes. Your God permits his to roam free. At a mere few thousand years old your creation myths are far more absurd than ours Picture Quote #1

That is the Mongolian creation myth: out of two different natures love is born. In contradiction, love grows in strength. In confrontation and transformation, love is preserved Picture Quote #1

Evolution is the creation-myth of our age. By telling us our origin it shapes our views of what we are. It influences not just our thought, but our feelings and actions too, in a way which goes far beyond its official function as a biological theory Picture Quote #1

The Big Bang is our modern scientific creation myth. It comes from the same human need to solve the cosmological riddle [Where did the universe come from?] Picture Quote #1

Creation stories, so central in the religions of the Middle East, play a surprisingly marginal part in Greek myth. The Greeks had nothing to set alongside the resounding ‘In the beginning’ in the book of Genesis, where one eternal God creates the universe out of nothing Picture Quote #1

The reason it was so bruising when someone said I was from a rich family is that, like many of us, I’m deeply invested - probably overly so - in the myth of my own self-creation. I like to believe that I got where I am, such as it is, by working hard and charting my own course Picture Quote #1

Maps of Time attempts to assemble a coherent and accessible account of origins, a modern creation myth Picture Quote #1

Darwinism has become our culture’s official creation myth, protected by a priesthood as dogmatic as any religious curia Picture Quote #1

It is time that we dispensed with the myth that the market is a force of nature that should not be meddled with. Markets are social creations that can be, and have been, modified for social purposes Picture Quote #1

One of the things I find exciting about Joan of Arc is how clearly the story of her life reveals the creation of myth, a process in which every one of us is involved - every one of us who tells stories and all those who listen, each informing the other Picture Quote #1

Creationists have also changed their name ... to intelligent design theorists who study ‘irreducible complexity’ and the ‘abrupt appearance’ of life-yet more jargon for ‘God did it.’ ... Notice that they have no interest in replacing evolution with native American creation myths or including the Code of Hammarabi alongside the posting of the Ten Commandments in public schools Picture Quote #1

Creation myths are not about the origins of the world at all, but about the origins of patriarchy which has claimed itself as the world Picture Quote #1

In creation myths, a God shapes mud or clay into living form, much like a potter throws a pot or a sculptor reveals the statue within a block of marble. But a writer has to create his own clay or stone before he can begin shaping life from it Picture Quote #1
