Question 2: Compare and Contrast Earth Diver and ExNihilo (part two) Now Earth Diver is very different from Ex Nihilo. Earth Diver is a common character in various traditional creation myths. Usually a supreme being sends an animal into the primal waves to find bits of sand or mud with which to build habitable land.
Scientific evidence has shown that at one point parts of the earth that are now dry were covered by water. Many myths allude to this fact by imagining a world once covered by water. Many myths, called diver-myths (Long 188), consisted of a being diving into the water that covers the earth to retrieve some earth. The earth brought to the surface became the land we know today.
