What is the actual purpose of a creation story?

Creation is “the action or process of bringing something into existence”. It can also be equivalent to bringing something to life. Creation stories vary throughout the world. They also vary amongst religions. For example, the creation story Genesis. This story is a story that originates from the Hebrew Bible and goes into depth about the supposed beginning of time. God is the main character in this story and is considered omniscient and omnipresent. He knows all things because he created all things. Only one’s belief can determine whether or not this story is actual factual. In Genesis, God speaks and it is so. Everything that is created is created from the works of him and his words. Not only does God create the earth but he gives life. He creates Adam, the first male, and then from Adam he creates Eve, his woman. Any first timer reading this story would most definitely be in doubt. So why was this story created? In actuality there will be no definite answer to this question but there are some possibilities. One possibility is that it gives meaning to the human race as a whole. No, it is not possible to find your purpose in life from just reading this story but you can find hope. You can find hope in the fact that a sole designer took time to create you and had you in mind. This is what Genesis is trying to depict. A creation story as this one gives humans comfort in knowing that they were created for a reason. It gives insight on your origin. Humans will get farther in life to their aspired destination as long as they know where they came from.
