the book of Genesis‚ there are two separate stories of creation. Both stories include information about God‚ humankind‚ and our relationship with God. The first and second creation stories provide contrasting information about God. In the first creation story‚ God observes from above‚ an earth without form or shape‚ and darkness over the abyss.

Creation stories are some of the oldest pieces of literature that exist. Before creation stories were written down and printed‚ they were retold through generations. Creation stories often describe to people who or what they are‚ why they are in a particular place‚ and how they should continue to live in that particular place. “The World on the Turtle’s Back” reminds the people of those three things.
