* The world is created in the first poem of [[The Kalevala]]. Later poems tell about the birth of iron and beer.
* ''[[Enuma Elish]]'' is possibly ''the'' oldest [[Creation Myth]] known to science.
* In the [[Star Trek Novel Verse]], an Andorian creation myth referencing the sundering of their race into four genders is essential to the in-depth exploration of their culture. According to the myth, their race was split into four sexes to demonstate their lack of self-knowledge; they were missing a vital aspect of self-awareness that prevented them being Whole. To unite the four genders is to take a step towards reclaiming spiritual perfection - though the "missing piece" is also needed if Andorians are to truly grow as a people. See in particular the [[Star Trek Deep Space Nine
* The Garden of Eden story pops up here and there in ''[[Dirge for Prester John]]'', but each of the races of Pentexore have their own myths of how the world came to be. Later, John tries to rewrite Genesis to fit Pentexore in it, because he simply can't let it go.
