The [[Zoroastrianism|Zoroastrian]] story of creation has [[Ahura Mazda]] creating 16 lands, one by one, such that each would be delightful to its people.  As he finished each one, [[Angra Mainyu]] applied a counter-creation, introducing plague and sin of various kinds. The dualistic idea of two primordial spirits, called twins by Zoroaster, goes back to an Indo-European prototype.  Although the idea of dualism came from the idea that "god" could not create evil so both evil and good pre-existed before time.
