In addition, different tales of the creation of the Earth are from the Modoc, Onondaga, Navajo, and Iroquois. For instance, it is the belief of the Onondaga that Earth was created by a woman falling from the sky with the help of a few animals. As Evidence, “ Then the two Swans brought the Sky Woman down. She stepped onto the new Earth and opened her hand, letting the seeds fall onto the bare soil. From those seeds the trees and the grass sprang up. Life on Earth had begun” (P. 18). Another tales or the origin of Earth was from the Modoc. The Modoc tribe believed that

humans originated from the Sky Spirit’s daughter and grizzlies bear having a family and the Sky Spirit being greatly displeased by their actions. The Sky Spirit was so livid about the situations that he punished all grizzlies for their wrong doings. For example, “ Get down on your hands and knees. You have wronged me, and from this moment all of you will walk on four feet and never talk again” (p. 21).

When Edwards calmly read this sermon the Puritans were horrified and left dumfounded. Some were so shaken by the sermon that they walked out in the middle of it. Edwards made it appear as though the Puritans were only a spider web thread thin from being engulfed in water and killed where they will enter the walls of hell. For example, “ The wraith of God is like great waters that are damned for the present; they increase more and more, and rise higher, till an outlet is given; and the longer the stream is stopped, the more rapid and mighty is its course, when once it is let loose” (P. 109).
