Maybe a dumb question but in world it seems there is no creation event or any thing.
Is there a world creation event or does it simply just start existing?

The world seems like it just starts existing and every one in it just takes it as read that the world exists now.

I think it would be fun for flavor text in legends mode to add some text describing the creation of the world.

At the very least it could just be a line of text.
On the bigger end it could actually flavor the worlds history depending on the set of circumstances that birthed the world.

Im sure procedural generated religious world creation stories would be pretty wild.

Things of precisely this nature are part of the plan for the upcoming myth and magic development. Just be patient for a couple of years.

Remember Dwarf Fortress is only 44% complete. Most things which make you think, "how strange, I wonder why that's not in the game" are planned.

Helpful rule of thumb: if there's a trope that appears with any regularity in modern fantasy, more likely than not DF will eventually be able to generate it.
