* 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 Relaunch]]. |

* The Garden of Eden story pops up here and there in ''[[A 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. |

* Game author (and troper) Robert M. Schroeck wrote a [http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/genesis.shtml creation myth] for his fantasy roleplaying campaign Narth when he was first shaping the setting in the 1980s. Originally intended to be one of a set of (sometimes mutually contradictory) creation stories told by the races of the game world, it draws on a number of disparate sources ranging from the obvious (Tolkien) to the obscure (Fred Hoyle's SF novel ''[[wikipedia:The Black Cloud|The Black Cloud]]''). |
