1. Question of Origin
In Hinduism, life started by Lord Brahma; creator of the universe, Vishnu; sustains creation, and Shiva; destroyer of all evil. These three Gods are behind the creation and destruction of the world. Brahma created human life from different parts of his body and his soul. It is their belief that everything in the universe was already here and that God is part of that. This is completely different from the Biblical Worldview that states that God created everything. Genesis1:1 “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”. This is saying that God himself began his creations with earth, not that the earth was here and God became part of it. God came first and then everything else followed, not God second or that they both occurred at the same time. It is similar because both worldviews believed a god(s) are behind all creation and destruction.

Question of Identity
Hinduism believes to be human means you must conduct yourself morally and justly so that your soul will deserve a life in the future. According to various schools of Hinduism, spiritually there is no difference between human beings and other life forms, such as animals. All life forms, including plants and animals, are manifestations of God as Jivas and possess souls. Like humans, animals are also subject to the cycle of births and deaths, karma, and the possibility of salvation.
Genesis 1:26 states that “man was created to be dominant over everything that creepeth upon the earth”. Human beings were created to be superior over the animals, not considered to be equal, and while they are here to make sure that animals are not mistreated, they also know that animals are needed for the survival of humans. This is similar because both worldviews feel a person has to prove themselves so a life in the future is deserved. They are also different due to how they feel about animals.
