Essentially the same as Christian creation except we were made because Ahura Mazda was bored and started creating things. It also lists fire in the creation story as important. Ahiram or Angra Mainyu or whatever then peers into Ahura Mazda's world (The world that Ahiram created is Hell) and gets told to aid the humans and is given immortality. He immediately gets mad at the idea of serving mortals and starts to essentially pick on them.
