Creation Stories Many creation stories indigenous and otherwise share similar themes and elements. The Aztec creation story and the biblical creation story also share some common elements. The Aztec creation story is also referred to as the story of the five suns (Rohmer, Anchondo Carrillo, 1988). The first of these elements is birth. According to the biblical creation story, the first birth was that of Cain and Abel, the offspring of Adam and Eve (Goodings Mitchell, 2008). The Aztec speaks of the birth of Coyolxanuhqui through the impregnation of Coatlique by an obsidian knife. Coatlique was also the mother of the stars and the moon. Birth in this case signifies the beginning of life on earth. In both creation stories, there is a supreme being from which all life begins. God is the Supreme Being in the biblical story while Coatlique is Aztecs Supreme Being. Both supreme beings are responsible for triggering the train of events of the worlds coming into being. Moreover, Ometecuhtli created itself and was considered good and bad. The Bible says that there once existed peace and harmony between man and animals in the garden of Eden. However, this peaceful co-existence was stopped when Adam and Eve sinned against Him. Adam and Eve were sent out of the Garden of Eden after eating the forbidden fruit (Hutton, 1987). The Aztec story depicts the tension between Coatlique and her children who believed that goddess could not give birth more than once. Her children, the stars and the moon, plotted to kill, but she retaliated by giving birth to Huitzilopochtli, the god of fire and war who murdered these children (Schuman, 2001).
