that the writers of the Bible want to stress the underlying story that God is the creator of all things. Even though the stories are different from one another they both stress the fact that God is very real, and there is a powerful being out there to which we owe our entire existence on this planet. This shows that we should be thankful to God, because without him we wouldnt even be here. I also believe that these versions show that the Bible is a guide to Christians and Jews not a factual history book. These different stories of creation show that the facts in the Bible might not be exact, and the stories are given only to stress the fundamental beliefs of Christianity and Judaism. God is the creator of all things, and for this we owe him our deepest respect and gratitude.In conclusion, the first two chapters of Genesis give an explanation for the existence of the universe. Even though the way in which the world is created differs from chapter one to chapter two, the fundamental principles behind the two stories are the same. I believe that this is the main point that the writers of the Bible are getting across to show that we should dedicate our lives to God, because he has given us life. Life is precious, so we should do our best to give back to God all that we are capable of in order to show our gratitude for this precious gift we have received. Even though we may fall short of perfection at times we should still strive to please God, and show him that he has truly created something beautiful....
