Before The Book of Genesis: The Real Story of Creation

The Bible’s opening verses reveal a fascinating twist many may not know—Genesis contains two distinct creation stories. The first presents a structured, cosmic account, where God speaks the universe into being over six days. But the second story is more intimate, with God forming Adam from the earth and creating Eve from Adam's rib. These two versions don’t just differ in style—they contradict each other in key ways, sparking centuries of debate among scholars. Why would a single, holy text include such divergent accounts of creation?

But it doesn’t stop there. Genesis wasn’t even the first creation story. Ancient Mesopotamian myths, like the Enuma Elish, and others from Egyptian and Greek traditions, also describe creation through battles and chaos. Genesis, in contrast, presents a monotheistic twist on these older tales. The Bible’s creation stories are part of a broader, ancient tradition—raising the question, how much of Genesis was influenced by earlier civilizations? Dive into this exploration of humanity’s origins, cosmic chaos, and the mystery behind these ancient narratives.
