Abstract
This article offers a discussion of the two creation stories in the Genesis book of the Bible. In this paper, the writer compares and contrasts the two versions. The writer discusses their similarity to creation stories of other religions. The writer examines the two varying creation myths and attempts to identify reasons for the different creation stories appearing in the same source.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to compare and contrast the two creation stories that appear in the book of Genesis. The plan of the research is to set forth the basic components of each of the stories and then discuss ways in which the pattern of ideas contained in each resonates with the other, with a view toward identifying reasons grounded in theology for which two disparate creation myths might be deliberately included in a single scripture source. Anybody who does not have a religious background ... "

Abstract
This paper considers two creation stories that appear in the Bible, suggesting reasons for them. According to the paper, one theory suggests that the verses have different authors and different time order of creation. Another theory sees one creation story as having a different use of language reflecting more of a social paradigm than a physical paradigm. A careful study of the first two chapters in Genesis including linguistics will show that the first theory is not true, while the second theory can be justified.

From the Paper
"Does the Bible contradict itself with the accounts of creation? Why are the two different descriptions of creation different? These are questions that people continue to ask because the Scriptures appear to be confusing. Different theories have been created to explain the Scriptures in Genesis 1:1-2:3 and Genesis 2:4-25. Two theories of these Bible verses are that the verses have different authors and different time order of creation, and secondly, one creation story has different use of language reflecting more of a social paradigm than a physical paradigm. A careful study of the first two chapters in Genesis including linguistics will show that the..."

Abstract
This essay describes the mythology of creation and its lineage of being passed down over generations. The writer presents various myths over the centuries and discusses their meaning with symbolism and metaphor. Some myths the writer uses are from the Zuni tribe, early Chinese cultures and also some baBylonian myths. In the end, the paper concludes that all myths essentially tell the same tale and that the basic purpose of mythology is to explain the creation of the cosmos and the maintenance of a social order.

From the Paper
"Perhaps it is more imperative that the world be organized in a way that can be universally explained that drives the power of comparative myth. It is this very similarity
and thematic commonality that not only poses questions, but proves, in some small way, of the universality of human though patterns, of the way humanity structures its idea of the universe, and of the cross cultural importance of a shared set of basic beliefs. Three of the most interesting creation myths; one from the Zuni tribe in North America, one from China, and one from the very heart of Middle Eastern Civilization, Mesopotamia, show interesting commonalties and perceptions about humanity.
"The Enuma Elis is the Sumerian/Babylonia creation myth. Rather than simply an oral tradition, the Enuma Elis was recovered in 1849 from the Mosul, Iraq area, on seven clay tablets, no all of which have been recovered and translated. It is one of the seminal studies for understanding the early Mesopotamian worldview, which was centered on the supremacy of the Gods, and the creation of man to serve those Gods. However, modern scholarship holds that rather than being a sole exposition of the power of a certain religion or philosophy, the primary purpose was to unify the city-states into a nation in which the chief god, Marduk, became the prime God of the culture (Dalley, 2009)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the discussion of creation science is inherently highly controversial because it seeks the mantle of scientific prestige for what many consider not to be science at all. The author demonstrates that such claims, or such questions, have a millennia-old tradition within the West, extending back at least to the writings on medicine by Hippocrates.

From the Paper
"If people, who were interested in teaching the biblical version of God'secretion of Adam and Eve, referred to this story as the biblical version of the creation of Adam and Eve, very few people could object There is most certainly a book referred to as the ..."

Abstract
This paper describes the Catholic creation myth and how it is a sacred narrative that explains the order of the world. It explains the purpose of the creation myth and then focuses on the creation myth of the Eucharist. The paper discusses the powerful symbolism of the creation myth of the Eucharist and its meaning for Catholics and Catholicism.

From the Paper
"The creation myth of the Eucharist pervades the lives of all Catholics, and provides the basis for worship that brings Jesus to Catholicism in his earthly form as a means of re-enacting the vision and seeing the presence of Jesus Christ on earth at all times. The creation myth is the means of bringing Jesus to earth for Catholics, and is the source of the of the most positive, moral and holy aspect of the Catholic faith. The creation myth provides fundamental rituals that unify and elevate Catholics in the creation of sacred time through the re-enactment of the creation myth, and most of all allows Catholics to give thanks."

Abstract
This paper notes that humanity has searched for the means and the language to explain and comprehend the creation of the universe since its own beginnings. The paper also explains that both Hesiod and Homer responded to this need to explore the origination of the world and mankind through their respective oral and literary traditions. The paper then goes on to discuss how Hesiod's "Theogony" and Ovid's "The Creation" both relate to formulating understandings of the creation of the cosmos, and notes their similarities and differences.

From the Paper
"Hesiod's Theogony stands at the beginning of European literary tradition--written between 800 and 600 BCE. His three major works of poetry were assembled synonymously with those of Homer (Lamberton 1). He remains as one of the four mythic bards who are recognized as a "source of Greek tradition" (Lamberton 1). Despite his humble origins as a Boetian peasant (Lamberton 8), Hesiod's account of the origins of the universe is said to be one of many, but its survival and later influence over authors such as Ovid speak to the value placed upon it by later authors (Lamberton 12). "

Abstract
This paper discusses the influences of big industrialists such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, and other big bosses of the trust that led to the creation of the United States Federal Reserve Bank (also known as the Fed). The paper then further discusses their role in the creation of the Fed in the early 1900s. It particularly discusses how their influence resulted in their financial power on the corporate, governmental and institutional level in the United States, as well as on a global basis.

Summary And Conclusion

From the Paper
"It is clear that Carnegie and Rockefeller money was invested in the motivating and directing forces of the establishment of the Federal Reserve System. The discovery made in the research of this subject leads to the discovery of some very sinister political ties which existed between these two named wielders of financial power on the corporate, governmental and institutional level in the United States as well as on a global basis. This power moves throughout the entire scheme of history and continues to move in today's world events. The New Standard Encyclopedia states of the Federal Reserve System that: "After World War I, the Federal Reserve System followed various policies designed to increase the supply of bank credit. It was believed that the economic growth of the country required such measures, but some authorities now think that these policies contributed to the 1928 stock market boom and collapse." (New Standard Encyclopedia, Vol. 3 Chicago Press, 1984) Certainly the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations are both still active in today's world through the many funding programs of each which leads one to further considerations in study in pursuit of obtaining knowledge of the powers that have shaped the historical development of the United States government and policies."

Abstract
This paper examines the history and folklore behind the creation story of the Chiricahua Apache. The creation story is presented to the reader, and is referenced throughout the paper. The history of the Apache is discussed, including where and how they lived, their connection to the land and how the creation story would influence their day-to-day decisions. According to this paper, their religion was central to all aspects of their lives, their behavior and means of survival. Their interaction with the white population, whether violent, or friendly, can all be traced back to their belief in their own creation story.

From the Paper
"By the beginning of the 17th century the Chiricahua Apache had achieved, from what can be determined from the archaeological record, a relatively settled way of life. They grew corn as well as other crops such as beans although there were certainly still semi-nomadic groups. Their joint dependence on agriculture and nomadic food collection and herding may have been due to the sporadic nature of rainfall in the Southwest. Nomadicism is a rational response during a year in which there is not enough rainfall."

Abstract
This paper compares the Sumerian, Babylonian and Egyptian myths regarding the creation of the world. It analyzes each creation myth individually and then compares the central elements and cardinal features found in them. The paper emphasizes the main themes of each myth and discusses the history and background of each of the myths.

Sumerian Creation Myths
Babylonian Creation Myths
The Egyptian Myths
Comparison And Conclusion

From the Paper
"Another theme is the conflict between the gods which accompanies this division and disruption. Lastly we have the creation of the various parts of the universe, the earth and humanity; usually aligned with the qualities or powers of the different gods. This is followed by the creation and the maintenance of order. While this is a rather simplistic overview of these complex myths it does serve to show that these important mythological structures have central and cardinal points of similarity and this in turn suggests that the view of creation has some common origins and views in different cultures."
