Creation Myths

A lot of creation myths from around the world are pretty similar. I'm right now thinking of the Greek and Norse cosmology myths or creation myths. In those, you can see that the universe started with chaos or with darkness or nothing. And then from it sprung Gaia, which is the personification of the earth. The myth to me is very reminiscent of habitable zone calculations in astronomy. When we look for a habitable planet, we are trying to find a world that is the right distance from its star to have liquid water.
