Compare the biblical account in the book of Genesis in the Bible with this folk myth?

In order to answer this question it will be necessary to have details of which folk myth is being referred to.
One point of general comparison which immediately comes to mind though is that Genesis is not myth, although some like to regard it so. It is written as a historical record, originally written in ancient Hebrew, and divided up into various sections or chapters (not here referring to the more modern chapter divisions) according to subject matter.
As a historical record Genesis events have been verified by both science (the Genesis Flood) and by Archaeology (names, places, and customs mentioned in Genesis). Myths of course cannot be verified in any way as they are not necessarily based in any kind of reality although they may seek to explain such.
