Indian Math System:
-The decimal system was first recorded in Indian math.
-Zero is a number there.

In India, they produce fruit, cashew nuts, coconut, and tea, which they are the largest producers of, and wheat, vegatables, suger, and wheat, which they are the second largest producers of.
This is what Guru said about the creation of the earth and what Sikhism believers believe:
"He created the Sun and the Moon; night and day, they move according to His Will. Many millions are the fields of creation and galaxies. Many millions are the skies and solar systems. Many millions are divine incarnations. He has unfolded Himself in so many ways. He has expanded His expansion of creation many times. Forever and ever, He is the One, the One Universal Creator. Many millions are created in various forms. From God they emanate, and into God they merge once again. His limits are not known to anyone. O Nanak, God exists by Himself."
"He established the Earth, the sky and the air, the water of the oceans, fire and food. He created the Moon, the stars and the Sun, night and day and mountains; He blessed the trees with flower and fruits. He created the demigods, human beings and the seven oceans; He established the three worlds (life in water, on land and in the air). God created the gases and everything came from God’s creation. For example, water (H2O) came from the gases. When two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom combine, they form water. Life in the ocean, on land and in the air is based on water. Within all life, He has infused His Light, the soul, which is a part of God. God created the entire Universe including the Earth and life on the Earth."
