Yes. Islam accepts the biblical creation and there are frequent references to Adam and Eve in the Quran, as well as to the Patriarchs of the Book of Genesis. The main point of genuine disagreement, which is relatively recent, is over which son Abraham was told to sacrifice.

What similarities are shared by the account of creation and the flood narratives?

AnswerThe biblical creation account and the biblical Flood story were both written by the same two authors: the Yahwist ('J' source) and the Priestly author ('P' source). However, in the creation account the Priestly story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) is kept quite separate from the earlier Yahwist story (Genesis 2:4b-2:25), but in the Flood story, they are interwoven, thus making it less apparent that there are really two stories there.

How many years of History does the Book of Genesis cover?

A:The Book of Genesis is not really a book of history: it is a book of legends and traditions.
