Many people throughout history have ascribed origins to a First Cause - [[God]] or various [[gods]]. Materialist views, i.e. that our creation happened due to natural circumstances, have also been put forth in this debate, some as early as [[ancient Greece]].
[[Judaism]] and [[Christianity]] posit that "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." ([[Genesis]] 1:1) Then He created plants ([[Genesis]] 1:11-13), animals ([[Genesis]] 1:20-23), and finally people (Genesis 1:26-27). Other major religions have similar creation stories.
