Bible Note: Hello Makarios: You asked: Would you kindly explain what you mean by "two distinct creation stories?" ------------------------------------------- A couple of things here and there: in chp 1, the animals are made first, before man is made; in chp 2, the animals are made after Adam is made. In chp 1, God seems to be creating in concert with others when He says: "Let us make man--someone like ourselves." Then They make man and woman, apparently at the same time, with no notions of a help-mate factor. Chp 2 describes man being made out of dust (not so in the first chp) and then Eve being made from Adam's side or rib. There's a couple of other differences easily discerned. Thought this was "old hat" stuff. Guess not. .........good thoughts, Treadway |
