Why do there seem to be two creation accounts in Genesis What is the theological impact of each?

There are not, nor ever have been two creation accounts in Genesis 1 and 2. What there is are accounts which focus on two different aspects of the creation. This is a known ancient literary device in which an account is given and then some aspect of it is enlarged upon later. Scholars understand this and so do not see them as two account but understand the intended focus of each section and do not see them as contradictory. Those who are either ignorant of this or ignore it see it as two accounts and as contradictory which is not at all the case. Understanding the intention of the author, in following the current literary usage throws light on the theological meaning. The focus of the first account is to give a chronological account of the whole of creation. The second part (from Genesis 2:4b onwards) focuses on the creation of man and gives more detail on this and the place of man in the creation. Understanding this ancient literary device saves the reader from seeing what is actually complimentary as contradictory which it is not. As a brief summary, both the universe and earth with all that is in it is seen as a creation by almighty God 'in the beginning.' Man, as being 'in God's image' is the pinnacle of creation and is not complete alone but male and female constitute mankind and belong together. Man is the designated steward as one who has 'dominion' over the creation.

Why are the creation stories included in Scripture?

A:In all religions, the very authority of the gods ultimately depends on their creation of the world. Creation means we are obliged to the Creator for our very existence, and will more willingly pay homage and obey instructions passed down to us through the priests.So it is with Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The creation stories are included in scripture so that we are grateful to God for creation. It does not really matter that the two accounts in Genesis 1:1-2:4a and 2:4b-25 are two very different stories because pious readers will ignore the disjunctions between them and simply read the second story as the more detailed account of the creation of man and woman.It is only in quite recent times that the inclusion of the creation stories in scripture results in a serious problem for religion, and this is because science demonstrates just how wrong those accounts are.


Does the Bible tell the truth about the earth?

In a biblical context, the truth about the earth refers to the two creation accounts in Genesis (Genesis 1:1-2:4a and 2:4b-25). That the two accounts are so widely different is evidence that at least one of them (and probably both) is not really true. The fact that creationists disagree so vehemently about what the accounts actually mean, is also evidence that they are not really true.
