No, we don't think arguing about unanswerable questions is productive. We leave that to science...

Different sects have different beliefs, and it also depends on the country or geographical region. For example, a Chinese Buddhist may believe in something different than a Japanese Buddhist.

Genesis is the myth. unreal creation of world by god, who did not exist. only idiots believe in genesis.
its been proved that bible is also wrong many times in last 2000 years. that is proof enough that genesis is a myth.

Like Mirage said, no. Buddhists and Buddhism doesn't attempt to answer questions that can't be answered, how did humans get here or what happens when we die. Buddhism, on the whole, is practical.

Some beliefs do have mythologies drawn from other religious beliefs, usually from local oral traditions since Buddhism does not say you can't believe in other religions, too. Japanese and Chinese Buddhism are both Mahayana. The other sect, Theravada Buddhism moves through Southeast Asia.

Buddha felt that if we waste all our time wondering about such things as how was the Universe created, we won't have time to reach enlightenment.

But there is a creation story of sorts found in Tibetan Buddhism----

Buddhism is based on Hinduism.
Hinduism is based on the Vedas.
One of the 4 Vedas scriptures is about Cosmogenesis.
Even the most learned Hindus find it difficult to believe this.
Try and read 'Vedic Physics' by Raja Ram Mohan Roy Ph.D.
This book explains the Vedas from the original Sanskrit.
The book has been endorsed by David Frawley, Director, American Institute of Vedic Studies.
