  1. Muslim Creation Story Qur'an 13:3,4And it is He who made the earth, and mountains standing firm and rivers: and fruit of every kind. He made animals in pairs, two and two: He made the night as the Day. And in the earth are gardens of vines and fields with corn, and palm trees - watered with the same water, We make more excellent than others to eat. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who understand!  Qur'an 41:37Among His Signs are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Do not bow to the sun and the moon, but bow to Allah, Who created them, if it is Him you wish to serve.  Qur'an 50:38We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days, nor did any sense of weariness touch Us. Qur'an 15:28,29Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man from clay from mud molded into shape; when I have made him and breathed into him of My spirit fall down in wonder unto him. 

  2. Christian Creation Story 26 Then God said, “And now we will make human beings; they will be like us and resemble us. They will have power over the fish, the birds and all animals. So God made them all and he was pleased with what he saw."  27 So God created human beings to be like himself, he created them male and female’  28 God blessed them and said to them, “Have many children; fill the earth and bring it under your control. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."  29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.  31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening passed and morning came —the sixth day. Task: Make a table of similarities and differences between the two stories of creation
