Creation

I actually enjoyed this ready from Cosby there wasn’t anything I found really boring or unnecessary for the chapter.  I wasn’t shocked that there are similar creation accounts to ours. I learned about this in my religions of the world class last semester. I really think that we shouldn’t read the creation texts so literally because if we do the first one proves the flat earth theory, and there is scientific proof that the earth is round. I have always found the flat earth theory stupid and the fact that people actually believe in it is dumb. I think that we should look at other creation stories and compare them to our creation stories because then we not only learn something about what we believe but we also learn more about the God we believe in. I think the focus should be more on who our God is and what he created rather than when and how he created these things. The same thing with Revelation that maybe it is not about the end of the world but about social change and maybe the creation story is not really focused on the creation of how and when but about why and by who. Our God is so great that he could create the entire universe and the heavens, that maybe we just can’t explain in human words how it was all created.
