Comparing Judeo-Christian Creation And The Creation Story

Improved Essays
In the two stories “Judeo-Christian Creation” and the “Creation Story” they are similar and different in many ways. The “Judeo-Christian Creation” is different because animals aren’t a big role in it, nor are they rulers whatsoever. There is only one ruler and that’s god. He made all the land and all the animals.
The “creation story” is different because animals play a big role in how the humans survived. A woman fell from the skyworld and a turtle saved her. She needed soil to create land, vegetation and trees. Animals would try and try to go deep down in the ocean to get soil to start a land. Finally a small otter like animal reached the bottom and came up with a little tiny portion of soil. The lady patted it down on the turtle's back and waited a long long time for plants, trees and vegetation to grow. She was also waiting to give birth to the child she was pregnant with. Sky woman promised the turtle that she would always remember to honor his life and that she would be eternally grateful for his kindness.
The two stories are similar because they both contain a “special” tree. That god commands them not to eat fruit off of or touch. In the skyworld the woman was pregnant and had weird

In Genesis God intended for Noah and his family to live, although in Ovid, Jupiter did not intend for anyone to live but Deucalion and his wife happened to survive. In Ovids version the animals came from the Sun and water and the humans came from Deucalion and his wife throwing parts of the earth and it would sprout into human beings.

    I then read the Iroquois' creation myth titled "The Creation." There creation is based on animals and that earth was just an island in the sky separated by clouds. This myth seems to focus creation on the inhabitants of earth rather than earth itself. I can appreciate this because the spiritual creation of animals seems more probable to me then the spiritual creation of earth. " One day the Great Ruler said to his people: "We will make a new place where another people may grow,"" (Iroquois, pg. 36).…

    A little far fetched when you say it out loud, but when you have nothing else to work with, its easy to see how it came to be. Due to this story, the Natives of America have an incredible respect for their environment and while they may be a little primitive by our standards, knew how to take care of their land. They have a massive amount of respect for everything, including the animals. 
 The creation story on the other hand says that everything was created by God in the matter of 7 days. God had created a sustainable environment called the garden of Eden.…

    Genesis 1:26 states that “man was created to be dominant over everything that creepeth upon the earth”. Human beings were created to be superior over the animals, not considered to be equal, and while they are here to make sure that animals are not mistreated, they also know that animals are needed for the survival of humans. This is similar because both worldviews feel a person has to prove themselves so a life in the future is deserved. They are also different due to how they feel about animals. 3.…

    The book of Genesis and the poem Enuma Elish both describe the story of creation, in their own ways. Initially we can see that there are very different beliefs of how creation came to be throughout the stories, but there are some underlying concepts that are the same.

The creation stories are meant to charter fundamental values of society and the two stories differ in the sense that the first one depicts a more perfect, idealistic, world, whereas the second story is closer to life, as it is messier. The creation stories are often combined due to how different the two perspectives are. However, while the creation stories do set the central values of society, it may be seen as misogynistic and sexist, as women were…

    At the beginning of time, God created the world. Light and darkness, the land and the sky, the living creatures, all are the creation of the Lord.

As this doctrine stands as a foundational belief, it has an astounding effect on my vocational choice.…
