Alternative creation myths abound in fantasy literature. J.R.R. Tolkien has his version in the Silmarillion; C.S. Lewis has both a Creation and an End in his Narnia sequence (Magician's Nephew and Last Battle). Also David Eddings Belgariad; Robert Heinlein Job and The Cat who walks through Walls; Lois McMaster Bujold 'Chalion'; Charles Harness 'The New Reality'; Michael Moorcock and numerous others offer huge variety. Both monotheist and multitheist versions abound. The struggle between 'good' and 'evil' concept of Abrahamic religions is also a frequent element.
