The first account of creation speaks about how God created the earth and describes what He created each day‚ but the second account primarily speaks about the creation and fall of Adam and Eve. The order in which things were created seems to be very different in both accounts. The creation of plants‚ vegetation‚ wild animals‚ and birds was mentioned in the first account before the creation of mankind was mentioned. God

Stories of creation exist in every religion and have been passed down for generations in their respective cultures. Striking similarities are readily seen between the Book of Genesis and the Epic of Gilgamesh of the Hebrews and Sumerians respectively. Both sources include a tale of a great flood that was to clear the earth of its inhabitants. Although the Epic of Gilgamesh predates the Book of Genesis by hundreds of years‚ the Sumerian text probably had a profound influence over the latter. Genesis

in many different passages. This clearly teaches Christians that God created everything in the world and bought it all into existence. The main creation story at the very beginning of the bible is Genesis 1 – 3. This passage clearly goes over what God created and then goes into the creation of humans and explains there special responsibilities.

In an Iranian culture when a foreigner comes into the country‚

As Genesis 1:1 states‚ “In the beginning‚ God created the heavens and the Earth‚” but according to the Iroquois‚ the creation of life took place in a much different way. Throughout the book of Genesis in the New Testament‚ the description of the creation goes by days. In the story “The World on a Turtle’s Back‚” the creation of Earth happens in a series of events‚ all caused by the gods in the Sky World. According to the Hebrews‚ the sky and Earth were created by the commanding of God‚ unlike what

Personally‚ I don’t like either of the narrators. The Writer seems to have made that intentional. Both short stories were written in a way that made it seem that the pace that each narrator was quick especially in Orientation by Daniel Orozco.

In Girl‚ i specifically found it mean the way she asked if the person sings benna in Sunday school and then
