Origins Of The Universe And What It All Means (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
The Big Bang theory is, after all, the latest in a litany of creation myths, humankind’s ongoing attempt to describe the ordering of the cosmos—we have, for example, creation-from-chaos stories like the Sumerians’ Eridu Genesis, and the Greeks’ Theogony of Hesiod; the Earth-driver type like the Cherokee story of the water beetle who formed the Earth from mud; emergence myths like the Mayan account of two gods, Kukulkan and Tepeu, who, after failing to create humans from mud, then wood, finally constructed man from maize; out-of-nothing explanations like the Judeo-Christian story of Genesis, or the collection of myths emanating from Ancient Egypt; world-parent tales like Rangi and Papa from the South Pacific, or the Hindu account of Mahapralaya and Svayambhu. Like my father, I could go on (and on and on), but my point is that we humans want to know where we came from. We want to know the origins of the universe. And for some of us, we want to know more about our family of origin.
