Creation in the eyes of a 6 year old

Scott and I recently bought an excellent book of creation myths.  This book covers myths from around the world.  Asian, European, Native American myths are within the book, along with the Christianity.  In this book, all are equal.  (For other freethinking parents, this is a fantastic book for introducing creation stories.)
This was a resource that was shared to us by Dale McGowan when we were in attendance at Reason Rally.  I have to admit, I enjoy the book very much and it is fantastic to read with children who are hungry for creation stories.  We have found that our oldest son loves the stories and finds them very interesting.

This book has allowed Mat to see how people from all around the world and from different eras believed the world was created.  When we ask Mat, he doesn't know what he believes.  That thought is perfectly fine.  We like that he is able to admit that he just doesn't know.  He is very curious and wants to learn more and then make his decision.  (Yay, so we're doing something right!)  That aside, Mat did a curious thing.  Mat created his very own creation story.  He was very elaborate in his telling of the story, hand gestures and all.

In Mat's words:
"It's called the seven evolutions.  This is how it starts.  One day, just seven evolutions were made.  And then the first one, it was life, second wind and lightning, third was the brain (the brain is the smartest), the fourth was the colorer (he colors the stuff in), the fifth one is water, the sixth is the season, the last was death.  First the brain created the world.  Then life made it all come to life.  Then the colorer colored it in.  Then death made the death, like he makes things die.  So death is a good guy, he makes things die when they are suppost to die.  He takes them to the land of death.  The land of death is a good place, but you are not a person, you fly around and have some fun.  The water made the sea and the rain.  Then the wind and lightning made storms by combining together.  Seasons made winter, fall, summer and spring.

One day a new evolution was born.  It was called the season changer.  It was the eighth evolution.  He put the seasons in order.  He made the seasons what they are today.

So that's how the world was made, according to me."
