YOur questions are obscure to me. Before I could answer them, I'd need to know what are the differences THAT YOU DISCERN between the creation myths of--for example--Christianity, Norse mythology and any shamanic culture you know about?

Again, you seem to be making it more difficult than necessary. To be simple:
