Flying by the Seat of Your Pants Wonder

In class today (January 19th), we talked about how different cultures explain our creation or why they explain it. I've thought about multiple versions of creation/evolution but never truly thought about how cultures reach a certain conclusion. I think it would be interesting to see what I could come up with if I had never been exposed to any theories, but unfortunately I have already been exposed so I doubt I could come up with an original explanation.

Though myths tend to fit into "how things are" today, I have absolutely no idea how they came up with them! How in the world did anyone ever decide that a massive vagina randomly showed up in the sky and "creepers" started crawling out?! Did someone actually see this mass vag? Did an ancestor turn senile and unknowingly made up the story? Or did someone simply have a sick mind? I don't know, probably never will. And that's ok.

So for the sake of argument I'll state the argument that I think ancient cultures made up some of these wild stories because people were asking and they had no answers. Though the stories make sense in comparison to nature and whatnot, I still think they pulled them out of their rear ends and periodically flew by the seat of their pants to come up with explanations.
