The creation narratives of the ancient world, including the biblical book of Genesis, were written in part to explain both of these questions: Why are we here? And also, ‘Why is life so hard?’ People in the ancient world had to wake up too, and they probably asked that same question, especially on school days. Many ancient cultures had creation stories that sought to answer why the world is the way it is. Why does the world exist? And, Why is life so hard?
