Hey， I am Bingqing, an international student who is from a small city located in the central part of China. I am a member of Emily Balch Seminar 20. 

Seldom will Chinese people, especially this generation, beblieve in the religion,the Creator or the existence of heaven. I also never think seriously of creation myths. In some extent, they were just stories which my mother told me in the bed before sleeping when I was a child. I love science and believe in science. It is not hard to explain why I prepfer the scientific theories about creation of universe, which are set after numerous scientific researches and logical thinkings. Chemistry is my favorite subject forever. I am a loyal adherent of The Chemical Origin Thoery. 

Here is a link to website about Chinese creation myth, Pangu and The Creation of the World.  This is one of the creation stories my mother have told my long before. I think that a lot of Chinese parents told this stroy to their children. The story about Pangu has been passed from generation to generation. It is just a traditional myth created by Chinese ancestors, nothing to do with Chinese belief. Frankly, Pangu's myth is the one I like most compare to many of other creation myths. 

The Pangu's story is on the central part of the web wage.
