There are countless mythologies.
In those countless myths, they have their own unique way of describing how the world and the first humans were created.
In Christianity, the first man Adam was made from dust, and using his ribs the first woman Eve was created.
In Islam, the first man Adam was made from clay and the first woman Hawwa's creation was undefined.
In Hinduism, the first man Manu was made with divine powers/energy and through his penance his wife and first woman Ananti later came as well.
In Egyptian Mythology, first humans were created by a tear of happiness.
And so on and on…
Among all these myths one thing was common; they did not evolve as theorised but were created by God or Gods.
What was the truth-? Were humans created or evolved?
The answer is… both!
"To think… I will find the answer to one of the world's greatest mysteries like this…"
Max mumbled while laughing to himself due to pure excitement.

A few moments ago…

Max landed on the surface of the planet he had created and then looked at his shadow with a soft sigh before scratching the back of his head.
"How am I supposed to create humans again…?"
The Ball floated down to the surface of the planet as well before floating right next to Max and answering him.
"There are many ways. You must choose what method you like."
"Um… technically speaking humans evolved from monkeys right?"
"No. They evolved from the same ancestors but they did not evolve directly from monkeys."
"I know that…" Max did not. "It's just easier to say humans evolved from monkeys- but that is not important. So- as I was saying… wouldn't it be much better to keep it that way here as well?"
"No. To formalise the creation of humanity you need to make two humans of opposite genders."
Max let out yet another deep sigh upon hearing that and started to rub his chin with a puzzled look on his face. Max gave it thought for a solid minute and used every brain cell he had.
(Ball breaking the fourth wall: Which is 1 brain cell. That's all he has. I don't know how or why he became God… whoever wrote this story sucks.)
"Give me a recommendation or something- and a guide on how to exactly make them-" Max said defeated.
"Draw a figure on soil and breathe life into it by imagining or shape a clay into a human and breathe life into it by imagining or simply imagine a human appearing or just say "let there be humans" for shortcuts like you always do." Ball said the last option with sarcasm.
"I was about to do the last option but now… it will hurt my pride." Max said with narrowed eyes as he glared at the Ball.
"Good. If you keep using that method then you could have hardly used your power proficiently in your original origin." Ball spoke calmly despite the glare it was getting.
"..."
Max said nothing and looked at the ground once again while trying to think of a method to create a human apart from any methods other than those recommended by the Ball.
'Think… think… I used to be a mythology nerd a few years back… even though I know all the mythologies partially there must be a good way the first humans were creat-'
Max paused and snapped his fingers with a grin. He looked around for a bit before taking a deep breath to calm himself down and start the creation of humanity.
Max lifted his index finger of his right hand and following his finger four roughly made figures of humans came out from the ground. He then used his left hand's index finger to command the water from a nearby water source to come and wet the statues; turning the solid soil into clay.
Max then clapped his hands together and dust of wind started to form around the figures cutting the clay figures into a proper statue of humans with clear features.
Finally, Max snapped his fingers, and a wall of fire surrounded the statue and immediately dried them, turning them into a very beautiful sculpture that looked more real than any sculpture ever made even in his original world.
"Um… was it truly necessary? Wouldn't it would have been much better to-"
"Nope~" Max said, cutting off the Ball with a smirk, "I want to make this fancy. You know~ it would be too boring if things like something as big as the creation of humans ended so easily."
"That- fair enough. I suppose you are finally taking the seriousness of being God. Now I suppose you will breathe life into them?"
"Nope." Max's smirk grew even more "I will make them using five elements. I have used four now and now it's time for the fifth!"
"Oh? Then what will be the fifth element?" The Ball asked curiously.
"Um~? I thought you were the omniscient aspect of mine. You should already know it, right~?" Max said teasingly.
"I am omniscient but I can't understand or know your actions. You are after all- greater than me." The Ball said calmly.
"Yet… yet you disrespect me- so I won't tell you. Just look to find out!"
Max extended his hand and looked at his palm with a serious expression. A black sphere with white twinkling dots formed in his palm and radiated a strong wave that seemed to bend space-time itself!
"Ho…" The Ball said, sounding impressed "then the last element is…"
"Sky." Both of them said together.
Max formed three more spheres before looking back at the sculptures. The moment he laid his eyes on them the spheres floated toward them and entered them by passing through the middle of their chests.
A bright eye-blinding light emitted from the sculptures and their outer part started to crack and fall revealing human skin underneath the sculptures.
Two of them were men while the other two were female. All of them had white skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair; they even looked similar overall almost as if they were siblings but most importantly… They were naked!
