A creation myth is a symbolic narrative of how the world began and how the people first came to inhabit it. For example, two of them are the Genesis story and the Chinese story. Although the two stories have a great deal of dissimilarities they also have a number of indistinguishable elements. Both creation stories have some things in common. First, in both stories humans were made from the earth. The Chinese story states that Nu Wa sculpted humans from the mud. “From the edge of the pond she…

Bowen’s Family Systems theory (BFST) attempts to explain human behavior as it relates to family dynamics and its complex interconnections. Reading Genesis chapters one through four, I identified four of eight BFST concepts that can be applied to “The First Family”: (a) triangles concept, (b) nuclear family concept, (c) emotional cutoff, and (d) sibling position. According to BFST, the triangle concept refers to three individuals that are in some way connected to each other, be it biological…

The two creation stories are very interesting in their plot. One is from a religion that has molded the world we now live in today and another from a long lost forgotten culture that only a few know about. Even though these cultures are hugely different they have uncanny similarities and very understandable differences which proves that humans are connected by nature. The first thing that comes to mind when reading these two stories is “What is with the fascination with trees.” It kind of makes…

Introduction Since the day Adam and Eve set foot on earth, they recognized their nakedness and started to cover their privet parts with leaves and plants. So it is the human nature to cover their bodies as an act of decency and modesty in the interaction between the opposite genders. Both male and females need to cover their bodies, however the required extend of covering differs for each group. The type of covering for women is known as “Hijab”. In today’s world the name “Hijab” has been quite…

Monkeys, birds, and fish have similarities to humans by how their skeleton is built, but that doesn’t mean they are our ancestors. Darwin needed evolution as a reason to live, so he created something that he believed was real. Evolution has been something that nonreligious people have made up to follow, but there isn’t actual written proof that it ever happened. Some scientists have disproved it; the Bible is completely against it and in mythology it links back to the Bible. There…

The story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11 of the Hebrew Bible is a brief but complex moment within the larger story of human development throughout the book of Genesis. At first reading the story appears entirely pessimistic in nature, but through close reading of the text, the nature of the story begins to change. In this essay, I argue that humankind’s creation of the Tower of Babel was motivated more so through an unconscious desire to be closer to God, who had become physically absent…

Genesis 2 and 3 might seem that it focuses on the creation of the world as we know. However, if we look beyond this storyline, we can see that Genesis 2 and 3 is actually about how God tests Mankind. The testing is not to see Mankind fail, but rather, how Mankind can improve. Throughout the entirety of Genesis 2 and 3, we see that The Garden of Eden was made by God that one may test Mankind. We can see this through the order of creation, how Mankind gets tested, and from how the punishments are…

But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.” This “being flooded with water” is clearly a reference to the days of Noah. Like Christ, Peter says that in the last days, people will show evidence of their ignorance and debased minds by mocking the idea that God will again disrupt the continuity of life by displaying His wrath on a desperately immoral world. Peter says God will again bring punishment on a…

binding of his son, Isaac/Ishmael, which was first recorded in Genesis 22. All three faiths view this story as significant, however there is a disjunction within the details of the narrative as well as what should be taken from the teachings. This paper will analyze these three faiths, by looking through the lens of Abraham’s story and will discuss how the narrative acts as both a unifying and an alienating force…

are described as inherently evil. When God creates the world, he sees that all he has made is good. (Genesis 1:31) God also creates humans, who God creates in his image, who are the only part of God’s creation…
