Video summary
Most religions have something to say about where we come from and why we really matter.
This quirky, educational animation explores the accounts of creation found in the Christian, Jewish, Sikh, Hindu, and Islamic traditions.
While these stories often disagree about how and when creation happened, they all tell us that a God was behind the scenes.
Science, on the other hand, does away with God, relying on the Big Bang Theory and Evolution to explain how the world as we know it came to be.
This engaging short film walks us through these different positions to show us that this contradiction is only apparent, and science and faith can often coexist.
This is from the series: A-Z of Religion and Beliefs
