The same idea is shown through the genesis creation stories when God throws Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden. In Christian belief, God created the world out of nothing. The idea of God creating the universe out of nothing is referred to as Creatio Ex nihilo. However, there are some hints in the earliest writings of the Bible that God shaped pre-existing unformed objects.

I talked about how the world creation and elements came thru the eyes of the first generation of Gods. Then the paper goes on to talk about the creators which are male and female who gives life to the human creation.

Adam would be his name in hopes of him bringing light to them. Yaldaboath breathed his breath within Adam and the first man arose (Patterson and Meyers).Genesis chapter 1 says “The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of light” (Sime 417).

The flood was sent by God in Genesis, and by a group of Gods in Gilgamesh. Noah and Utnaphistim were righteous. Both were ordered to build an arc and complained. The arcs had many compartments inside of them. Both had one door, at least one window, and made of pitch.
Remember, most myths have two functions: 1. Explain how something was created or why it is the way it is. 2. Teach us a life lesson (Have a theme). Think back to the myths we have read in class as an example of what a good myth does.
