Re: Genesis 1 as "True Myth": 5 Possibilities

The Creation story may need to be read as a whole.Here Ill show you a sample between Gen 1 and Gen 2.

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night

2).4These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they, were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

1) 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

2)5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

2) 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

2) 7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

You will note that God creates man in both chapter. The concept between the two are the same. Also day can mean eon.also spelled eon or æon, means “age,” “forever,”
