Another way is cloning... by taking a sample of virtual DNA and create a real-world vis-a-vis from that model. (Typical Twin)
Well this Typical Twin is what parallel world or dimension is all about.
And it is the very matter that religion talks about it indirectly, while mythology and even magic tackle it directly.
We find the Typical Twin in most of their stories under different names..
We can go back to this subject later.
Now let us go back to the sequence of creation.
If science sees that the Big Bang had created this world/universe/life, we can see that Myth and Religion are not that far away from this theory..
The difference is in timing..
Let us see how..and we start with Mythology
In any society, the stories of creation are usually regarded as a profound truth.
Mythical stories in different Mythological Societies can differ, however they all have a common belief that creation is a result of a cosmological chaos or morphousness.
All are scary stories with plots and characters who are either deities, human like figures or animals who often speak and transform easily.
Those characters and plots are set in a dim and nonspecific past.
Common motifs also include the fractionation of the things of the world from a primordial chaos; the separation of the mothers and fathers; the wrath of gods; or the emerging of a land from an infinite and timeless ocean.
The Bakubas in Africa for instance say that there was nothing but darkness and water controlled by a giant who felt pain in the stomach one day and vomited the sun, moon and stars. Then the Sun evaporated water to cover Earth and create clouds then mountains emerged. From the second vomit of the giant came the Man, Woman, ... animals, trees .. etc..
This is not much different of the story of creation in Religion - six days creations started with light to reach Adam and Eve.
Buddhism generally ignored the question regarding the origin of lif, and are more concerned with the goal of saving oneself and other beings from suffering. However, the Kalachakra Tantra, a scripture of Tibetan Buddhism, deals with the formation and functioning of reality. Modern day Buddhists such as the Dalai Lama don't perceive a conflict between Buddhism and Science and consider they are complementary means of understanding the world around us.
Hindus believe that the cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction has no beginning and end.
Another reason for this could also be the Hindu concept of cyclic time, such as yugas, or days of Brahma.
A Day of Brahma lasts 4.32 billion years and the night of Brahma also lasts for 4.32 billion years. Days and nights follow in cycles (unlike the concept of linear time in many other religions). In fact, time is represented as Kālá Chakra, the wheel of time.
That would be similar in a way to the count of time in the Religious Books.
While there were several different creation myths in the Egyptian Mythology, they all shared common elements: an infinite, lifeless ocean which preceded the creation, and a pyramidal mound of land which was the first thing to emerge from this ocean.
To some degree these myths represent competing theologies, but they can also be seen as representing different aspects of the process of creation.
The convergence of the Ogdoad represented the transformation of the lifeless primordial chaos into the orderly, life-bearing world; the Ennead myth demonstrated how the world's original, embryonic form (Atum) evolved into the multiplicity of elements it later contained.
Amun was the ultimate cause of creation, who first developed a concept of what the world would be like, and Ptah was the power of creative speech, by which that initial vision was made reality, and which caused the growth of Atum.
In Islam, The Qur'an states that God created the world and the cosmos in six days process, made all the creatures that talk, walk, swim, crawl, and fly on the face of the earth from water.
God Made the angels, and the sun, moon and the stars to dwell in the universe.
Poured down the rain in torrents, and broke up the soil to bring forth corn, grapes and other vegetation; olive and palm, fruit trees and grass.
Molded clay, earth, sand and water into a model of a man and breathed life and power into it, and it immediately sprang to life. And this first man was called Adam.
God took Adam to live in Paradise. God taught Adam the names of all the creatures, and then commanded all the angels to bow down before Adam.
In the Judeo-Christian traditions, God created the different features of the world over a series of six days. Then separates the waters, the sky and the dry land, and fills the earth with vegetation.
Then God put lights in the sky to separate day from night to mark the seasons.
On the fifth day, God created sea creatures and birds of every kind and commands them to multiply their numbers.
On the sixth day, God created land creatures of every kind.
Man and woman were created last, after the entire world is prepared for them; and God created them in his image.
So, where and how Myth, and Religion differ from Science and each other.?
They all do not have timing.
But they differ in data and information.
Even Science is not able to submit facts ... only guesses, so Science comes so close to Myth in this matter.
May be the quation should be not How the creation was created But WHY?
Why this whole creation happened in the first place?
Why we are sure that we are alone in this whole universe ... or not sure?.
Let us seek answers.
