    Looking at the differences and similarities between the Theogony and Genesis can tell us about the culture of the people who wrote them. The first similarity that I see is the relationship between the first gods in the Theogony and the first things God creates in Genesis. In Genesis God creates the heavens and the earth and then light and dark (CM pp. 73). Similarly‚ in Theogony Gaia‚ the earth god‚ comes from the chaos and gives birth to Ouranos‚ the heaven‚ and Day and Night were also born (Theogony

    detailed descriptions of creation are found in Genesis 1:1-2:4 and Genesis 2:5-2:23. John Collins states‚ “The Bible is a product of history. It took shape over time‚ and its content and even its wording changed in the process.” (Collins‚ 7) Collin’s chronological outline presents how history emerged from the biblical text and demonstrates the span of thousands of years providing debate and skepticism between the two Creation stories found in Genesis. (Collins‚ 8) The differences found within the

    A discussion on what Genesis 1:1 says would be a short discussion and perhaps only concern Hebrew and English word equivalence. However‚ to speak about Genesis 1:1‚ we would need to bring up what the words mean. For example‚ what does ‘the beginning’ mean‚ beginning of what? Any attempt to answer these questions will involve a person’s presuppositions (Smith‚ 14). It is feasible that in the modern Western world‚ the Biblical passage’s beginning would be understood as the Big Bang. This understanding

    creation and evolution appears to suggests it will be a very long time before this issue is put to rest. So‚ what it is that I believe? Is the book of Genesis fact or fiction? I believe‚ Genesis was written by Moses through the intercession of God and the holy Spirit. The bible itself gives us evidence of this when in many of the books following Genesis it gives a clear authorship of Moses. Not only that‚ but for one to be able to write such an important book in the bible‚ that person had to have both

    to talking about a God or gods to be specific ( Enuma Elish) Marduk and ( Genesis) God. The same way as humans we worship God so does the characters in the Enuma Elish. The beginning of each of these Stories are also the same‚ there was nothing. In both stories humans are created after everything else is made.

    than Russell Crowe’s cute nose‚ much less in seeing the difference between the truth of the Bible and the pantheist beliefs of some stories‚ and how they can affect their lives. The flood in Genesis is not the only story of its kind‚ other mythological versions have a very similar act to tell. The flood in Genesis shows that the one existing God (Yahweh) controls all things‚ and in the mythological story of the Epic of Gilgamesh‚ the god Enlil needed other gods to help control all things. The overall

    Genesis 1-11 My mind began to fill with questions and thoughts as I read the first eleven chapters of the Bible (see list of questions after my paper please). It never ceases to amaze me that I can repeatedly read chapters of the Bible and learn or notice something fresh each study session. A number of unique things occurred to me this time through. The fact that the Tigris and Euphrates have actually been on earth since Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:14) amazed me. To think

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‚ the first book of the Old Testament in the Bible‚ is so named because it opens with

    The Original Sin Throughout the book of Genesis‚ the serpent has been portrayed as the evil entity several times. The most evident example of this is the story of the snake telling Eve to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree. She‚ in turn gives the fruit to Adam who also consumes it. This poem is my representation of this famed story. The Original Sin A woman and a man‚an essential part of God’s master plan.The Garden of Eden‚ the place they lived.They were given all it had
