Like many ancient groups, the Anasazi hold a strong belief in the creator and that every living thing is a part of the said creator. These early Anasazi did not have the traditional beliefs about good and evil that are now in modern religions. They believed in an orderly universe, and thought of "evil" as an imbalance between that orderly universe and the humans. If anything good happened they believed it was caused by their creator. Anasazi people believed that their primary responsibility was to honor the earth. It was an Anasazi belief that our current world is the fourth earth to be in existence. The previous three were supposedly destroyed by the Creator. The Anasazi people believed that if humans did not live up to their commitments to honor earth, Mother Nature will punish them by bringing the world to a violent end.
