This week, we begin reading Genesis...again.

So let's talk about the two creation myths (Gen1 and Gen2-3).

It is clear, upon examination, that these myths were never intended to be read as history.

To do so requires a lot of apologetics (dishonesty).

There are two different styles of writing between the Gen1 and Gen2-3 myths.

While the first is from a song writer who was more concerned with rhyming than grammar, the second is from a humorist who was more interested in puns and sexual imagery.

The song of creation is beautifully crafted, and is full of visual/sound rhyming, parallelisms, cadence, and repeats.

This is not how one communicates history.

This is how one communicates legends through art.
