The evolution theme is used to educate people about how the universe came to be. The creation problem, according to Fred, fully accounts for the relationship between nature and its creator (2016).
The Cosmos and the Creator
As a result, the cosmos and the creator are central to the nature theme. The origin topic is important to a culture and society because it explains how they come to be and who their ultimate being is.According to The Origin of the World, God created the Earth, as well as its flora and fauna, in six days. On the sixth day, He created men and women and commanded them to reproduce and fill the universe (The Origin of the World, n.d.). As per Enuma Elish: Babylonian Creation by Stefan Stenudd, the Babylonians came from a supreme being caused to appear by Marduk – a Babylonian god – after he defeated the 'gods of old' (Stenudd, n.d.). After the victory, Marduk inherited all the cultures on the Earth, including the divine couple, which led to the occurrence of the world.Similarities & Differences between the Two Creation Stories
An analysis of the two stories reveals that all societies believe they were created by a supreme being. As a result, every society pays homage to its supreme being. Nevertheless, there exists a significant difference between the two stories. According to The Origin of the World, the universe was created by God (an immortal being) after He came up with a decision to do so. On the other hand, Stenudd points out that the Babylonians were created after Marduk (a god) overpowered the other gods.References
