No religion is the best religion. Whichever religion u r practising is the best religion for u. But there is a basic difference between islam/ christianity group of religions and the hinduism/ buddhism group. The former group preach that their religion is the best religion and the right way to reach god is through their religion, hence they believe in converting others to their faith They also believe that every human being is a bornr sinner and should always repent for their sins. However, the later group doesn't believe in converting others and no one is a borne sinner. They follow the doctrine of 'karma', that is everyone is free to make choices in their life, they can make good or bad choices. But the choices one makes determines their future n next lives. 'How the world was created according to hinduism' is a very broad topic. Hinduism doesn't have a single religious book or principle. There are extremes of views about any topic in hinduism. There are many schools of thought. For example, according to 'puranas' there is borne in a caste and their are 33 million gods/ goddesses, whereas as per the 'vedas' there is no caste system and one attains caste by the work he does. Also there is only one god. Similarly, according to 'lokayata' sect of hinduism, their is no heaven/ hell/ after life/ gods or goddesses. So everything is the current life. So all these diverse views are hinduism. One can't say that one of them is the correct hindu thinking and the other is not. About the creation of world, the most commonly heard view is the one presented in 'puranas'. According to it, the creation started from 'manu' and 'satyarupa', and the story is somewhat similar to 'adam' n 'eve' in bible. But the views expressed in 'vedas' and 'upanishads' about the world's creation is different. Hope that i have made something clear.
