The famous nāsadīya sūkta the 129th sukta of the 10th mandala of the Rigveda is possibly the first hymn of creationism.
The Rig Veda manuscripts have been selected for inscription in UNESCO's "Memory of the World" Register.
Neither Nasadiya Sukta nor Big Bang Theory claims to have solved the mystery of the creation of the Universe. Nasadiya Sukta expresses doubts if we would ever be able to solve the mystery of creationism. It expresses "perhaps even He knows not the truth (verse 7)", the quest will be on.
But what is really interesting is the convergence of thoughts of Rig Vedic rishis and modern scientist in this quest, despite adopting radically different methodologies and despite being separated by a time span of 10,000 years.
How wonderful is this religious hymn that proclaims the God exists within all, and that the seed of desire is the first bond created to disturb tranquility .. are scientists listening ? - is it time to include more factors to the theory of matter and energy ....another state of intelligence that causes disturbance?
The poetic description of creation is amazing. The translation below is not a verbatim take of published western translations, but an independent attempt by myself to unravel it without any bias.

NASADIYA SUKTA - the story of non-being

NASADIYA SUKTA is a cantate for soprano, Indian violin, tabla and string orchestra. The Indian parts are composed and improvised by Lenneke van Staalen and Heiko Dijker, the Western music is by Marien van Staalen.
The lyrics are taken from the RigVeda's, the holy books of Hinduism. They represent the story of Creation, as it was written down around 2000 B.C.
After a short Invocatio by tabla player Heiko Dijker, in which he asks the Gods for their blessings, soprano Sterre Konijn sings in the Cantus about the beginning of creation.
The lyrics depict how at first there was nothing at all - being nor non-being - and how Love arised from its own impulse.
The texts ends with the reassurance that the One is aware of where creation came from: 'he surely knows.'
This relief is taken away in the very last words: '...but maybe he does not' - leaving the listener in despair.
So the only consolation left is found in the final mantra 'Ōm'.
Nasadiya Sukta, RigVeda's X, 129
In the beginning there was being nor non-being.
There was no air, there was no sky beyond.
Who covered what, and where, in whose protection?
Was there water, unfathomable?
There was no death, and nothing was immortal.
There was no sign of day and night.
The breathless breathed on its own impulse.
No other thing than that was there beyond.
Then there was darkness, concealed in darkness.
An uninterrupted continuum of fluid.
Then, up, out of nothing, forced by power of heath,
came the One, and appeared.
In the beginning Love arose,
the primal germ of the mind, all around, all invading.
And poets, seeking their hearts full wisdom,
discovered there the line from non-being into being.
That line devided being and non-being.
What was above it, what below?
Seminal powers made mighty fertile forces.
Below was strength, and over it impulse.
Who really knows, who dares to declare it?
Who started this creation, and why?
The gods themselves came after its conception.
Then who can tell from where it has arisen?
He, out of whom creation came to be,
whether he fashioned it or not,
he, who surveys it from the highest heaven,
he surely knows - but maybe he does not.

Nasadiya sukta - Hymn of creation Rig veda 10th Mandala 129 sukta
English Translation ( hard to translate as English does't have the conceptual constructs required to translate it; this is the best you can get )
(1) 'there existed no being, nor did any non-being then; no air, no sky
beyond that; what was that which covered, and what, where; under whose
protection; and was there that deep unfathomable water?
(2) 'there was no mortality, and hence no immortality; there was no
indication of neither night, nor day; He (that), alone, breathed with no
wind, (but) with his own will-power; no other thing than that existed
beyond'
(3) 'darkness was that which darkness covered before; this all was
water with no indication of it whatsoever; that which was there to come
about, was covered with void; THAT, alone, by power of heat (tapas),
came into being'
(4) 'desire was there in him before, the first seed of thought that it was; in
their hearts, searching with their wisdom, the sages found their bonds with
being, in the non-being'
(5) 'their rays extending obliquely were below or above (no one knows);
the force of creation, the great vital energy , was there; above was the
power of will, below was the discipline (svadhā)'
(6) 'who could know here for sure, who could further explain, whence this
creation came about, and progressing to where on this side; gods were
born with its progression; who then knows from whence THIS came
about'
(7) 'from whence this creation arose; did he create, or did he not?
HE who presides over it in the highest heaven,
HE alone for sure knows, or may be HE does not know

The Nasadiya Sukta (after the incipit ná ásat "not the non-existent") also known as the Hymn of Creation is the 129th hymn of the 10th Mandala of the Rigveda (10:129). It is concerned with cosmology and the origin of the universe.
It begins by paradoxically stating "not the non-existent existed, nor did the existent exist then" (ná ásat āsīt ná u sát āsīt tadânīm), paralleled in verse 2 by "then not death existed, nor the immortal" (ná mṛtyúḥ āsīt amŕtam ná tárhi). But already in verse 2 mention is made that there was "breathing without breath, of its own nature, that one" ânīt avātám svadháyā tát ékam). In verse 3, being unfolds, "from heat (tapas) was born that one" (tápasaḥ tát mahinâ ajāyata ékam). Verse 4 mentions desire (kāma) as the primal seed, and the first poet-seers (kavayas) who "found the bond of being within non-being with their heart's thought".
The hymn is undoubtedly late within the Rigveda, and expresses thought more typical of later Indian philosophy.
The hymn has been interpreted as one of the earliest accounts of skeptical inquiry and agnosticism.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varaha
Varaha (Sanskrit: वराह) is the third avatar of Vishnu, taking the form of a boar. He appeared in order to defeat Hiranyaksha, a demon who had taken Prithvi to the bottom of the cosmic ocean. The battle between Varaha and Hiranyaksha lasted one thousand years, after which the avatar was triumphant. He then retrieved the Earth from the ocean in his tusks and restored it to its place in the universe. In certain depictions, the earth is shown as having the form of a young woman.
According to puranas Vishnu married Prithvi, or Bhudevi, while in this incarnation. She gave birth to their son, the asura Narakasura.

Nasadiya Sukta
"Who really knows?
Who will here proclaim it?
Whence was it produced? Whence is this creation?
The gods came afterwards, with the creation of this universe.
Who then knows whence it has arisen?"
The Nasadiya Sukta (after the incipit ná ásat, or "not the non-existent"), also known as the Hymn of Creation, is the 129th hymn of the 10th Mandala of the Rigveda (10:129). It is concerned with cosmology and the origin of the universe.
Interpretations
The hymn has attracted a large body of literature of commentaries both in Indian theology and in Western philology.
The Creation Hymn begins by paradoxically stating "not the non-existent existed, nor did the existent exist then" (ná ásat āsīt ná u sát āsīt tadânīm), paralleled in verse 2 by "then not death existed, nor the immortal" (ná mṛtyúḥ āsīt amŕtam ná tárhi). But already in verse 2 mention is made that there was "breathing without breath, of its own nature, that one" ânīt avātám svadháyā tát ékam). In verse 3, being unfolds, "from heat (tapas) was born that one" (tápasaḥ tát mahinâ ajāyata ékam). Verse 4 mentions desire (kāma) as the primal seed, and the first poet-seers (kavayas) who "found the bond of being within non-being with their heart's thought".

Nāsadīya sūkta (The first recorded Hymn of creationism) - Rig Veda English Translations
The famous nāsadīya sūkta the 129th sukta of the 10th mandala of the Rigveda is possibly the first hymn of creationism.

Neither Nasadiya Sukta nor Big Bang Theory claims to have solved the mystery of the creation of the Universe.

Nasadiya Sukta and VARAH AVTAR-Hiranyaksha-Narakasura-Deepavali.Tribulations of Prithvi.
The Nasadiya Sukta (after the incipit ná ásat "not the non-existent") also known as the Hymn of Creation is the 129th hymn of the 10th Mandala of the Rigveda (10:129). It is concerned with cosmology and the origin of the universe. It begins by paradoxically stating "not the non-existent existed, nor did the existent exist then" (ná ásat āsīt ná u sát āsīt tadânīm), paralleled in verse 2 by "then not death existed, nor the immortal" (ná mṛtyúḥ āsīt amŕtam ná tárhi). But already in verse 2 mention is made that there was "breathing without breath, of its own nature, that one" ânīt avātám svadháyā tát ékam). In verse 3, being unfolds, "from heat (tapas) was born that one" (tápasaḥ tát mahinâ ajāyata ékam). Verse 4 mentions desire (kāma) as the primal seed, and the first poet-seers (kavayas) w...

NASADIYA SUKTA is a cantate for soprano, Indian violin, tabla and string orchestra. The Indian parts are composed and improvised by Lenneke van Staalen and Heiko Dijker, the Western music is by Marien van Staalen.
The lyrics are taken from the RigVeda's, the holy books of Hinduism. They represent the story of Creation, as it was written down around 2000 B.C.
After a short Invocatio by tabla player Heiko Dijker, in which he asks the Gods for their blessings, soprano Sterre Konijn sings in the Cantus about the beginning of creation.
The lyrics depict how at first there was nothing at all - being nor non-being - and how Love arised from its own impulse.
The texts ends with the reassurance that the One is aware of where creation came from: 'he surely knows.'
This relief is taken away in the very last words: '...but maybe he does not' - leaving the listener in despair.
So the only consolation left is found in the final mantra 'Ōm'.
Nasadiya Sukta, RigVeda's X, 129
In the beginning there was being nor non-being.
There was no air, there was no sky beyond.
Who covered what, and where, in whose protection?
Was there water, unfathomable?
There was no death, and nothing was immortal.
There was no sign of day and night.
The breathless breathed on its own impulse.
No other thing than that was there beyond.
Then there was darkness, concealed in darkness.
An uninterrupted continuum of fluid.
Then, up, out of nothing, forced by power of heath,
came the One, and appeared.
In the beginning Love arose,
the primal germ of the mind, all around, all invading.
And poets, seeking their hearts full wisdom,
discovered there the line from non-being into being.
That line devided being and non-being.
What was above it, what below?
Seminal powers made mighty fertile forces.
Below was strength, and over it impulse.
Who really knows, who dares to declare it?
Who started this creation, and why?
The gods themselves came after its conception.
Then who can tell from where it has arisen?
He, out of whom creation came to be,
whether he fashioned it or not,
he, who surveys it from the highest heaven,
he surely knows - but maybe he does not.

The Nasadiya Sukta (after the incipit ná ásat "not the non-existent") also known as the Hymn of Creation is the 129th hymn of the 10th Mandala of the Rigveda (10:129). It is concerned with cosmology and the origin of the universe.
It begins by paradoxically stating "not the non-existent existed, nor did the existent exist then" (ná ásat āsīt ná u sát āsīt tadânīm), paralleled in verse 2 by "then not death existed, nor the immortal" (ná mṛtyúḥ āsīt amŕtam ná tárhi). But already in verse 2 mention is made that there was "breathing without breath, of its own nature, that one" ânīt avātám svadháyā tát ékam). In verse 3, being unfolds, "from heat (tapas) was born that one" (tápasaḥ tát mahinâ ajāyata ékam). Verse 4 mentions desire (kāma) as the primal seed, and the first poet-seers (kavayas) who "found the bond of being within non-being with their heart's thought".
The hymn is undoubtedly late within the Rigveda, and expresses thought more typical of later Indian philosophy.
The hymn has been interpreted as one of the earliest accounts of skeptical inquiry and agnosticism.

Varaha (Sanskrit: वराह) is the third avatar of Vishnu, taking the form of a boar. He appeared in order to defeat Hiranyaksha, a demon who had taken Prithvi to the bottom of the cosmic ocean. The battle between Varaha and Hiranyaksha lasted one thousand years, after which the avatar was triumphant. He then retrieved the Earth from the ocean in his tusks and restored it to its place in the universe. In certain depictions, the earth is shown as having the form of a young woman.
According to puranas Vishnu married Prithvi, or Bhudevi, while in this incarnation. She gave birth to their son, the asura Narakasura.
