What does the story of creation tell us about man?
The story of creation depicts man as a special and beloved creation of God, made in His image and given dominion over all other creatures on earth. It emphasizes man's responsibility to care for and steward the earth, as well as the importance of relationships with God and fellow humans.
What are the lessons of the creation story?
The lesson of the creation story is there is an intelligent mind behind the development of mankind. Just like man cannot simply mix together all the parts of a house or a car and toss them into the air and expect them to fall into place simply by chance, it is also unreasonable to think mankind came about simply by the big bang theory or evolution. (Man is certainly a lot more complicated than a house or a car.) So the lesson is all creation owes a deep debt of gratitude to that intelligent being who is the most high over all the earth (Psalm 83:18).
What parables deal with stewardship?
Some parables about stewardship include the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30), where servants are entrusted with varying amounts of money and held accountable for their stewardship, and the Parable of the Dishonest Manager (Luke 16:1-13), where a manager is commended for acting shrewdly in managing his master's affairs. Both emphasize the importance of responsible and wise stewardship over resources entrusted to us.

What message about stewardship is given in the Genesis creation stories?
Stewardship of the earth is one of the key areas in which the two creation stories in Genesis completely contradict each other. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) reminds us that we must scrupulously avoid reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first, and vice versa, if we are to understand each story on its own terms.In the first story, the animals come first and man is to be their ruler. Man is to have dominion over life on earth, and was instructed to replenish and subdue it (Genesis 1:26,28).In the second, the beasts come after Adam, as his possible companions. In this story, he is to be the servant of the earth (2:5, 15), not its master.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Does the creation story affect us today?
Regardless of its truth or otherwise, the biblical creation story ought not affect us in our everyday lives. But it does.In some countries it is said that over half the population believes in the literal truth of biblical creation. This affects us all, because such a widespread belief in 'creationism' results in pressure on the school systems of those countries to teach creationism as part of the mainstream curriculum, rather than just as religious instruction. This impoverishes the teaching of science and could result in long-term damage to the competitiveness of the nation.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

It is accepted by many in the US, and rejected by others. Most of those who reject evolution are on the Christian Right, rejecting it in favor of a literal interpretation of the biblical creation story. Outside of the Christian Right, most Americans who care about the Bible accept the idea that the creation story in Genesis is not intended to replace or supplant science, but rather, it should be read as a parable, to teach us about our place in the world.

What does the genesis creation story teach us about the environment?
In the Genesis creation account mankind is appointed as a "caretaker" over the creation of God. It is clear that this involves what scholars call the "dominion mandate" in that man has control and authority over the environment to use it as he sees fit. Obviously if he exploits the environment over which he has been entrusted dominion, to the point of damage he is not exercising responsible stewardship. Since the environment is God's creation and not man's, man is not free to use it in ways that cause harm either to the environment or that hampers the right of others to live in an environment that is healthy. The creation account sums up the whole creation, which God describes in Genesis 1:31 as "very good". We know today a great deal more today than then about what this means - the amazing diversity and complexity in both the environment as a whole and in individual organisms, body systems, interactions, information content etc. Belief in an orderly creation has been shown to stimulate and encourage scientific inquiry, as well as technological advancement -all of which have led to knowledge which enables better care for the environment.
What key themes emerge when you read the Creation Stories and what do they teach us about the natural world the relationship between God and human beings?
A:There are two different creation stories in the Book of Genesis (verses 1:1-2:4a and 2:4b-25). A key theme of both is that God created life on earth. In the first creation story, God also created the light of day, the firmament that separates the waters above from the waters below, and the sun, moon and stars. In the first creation story, man is made in the image of God, while in the second story he becomes god-like after his transgression (Genesis 3:22: "now the man is become like one of us").The creation stories do not teach us about the natural world because, for example, the first story teaches that the sun, moon and stars were created after the earth existed and grass already grew, which we now know not to have been the case.The creation stories do not really address the relationship between God and humans. However, the stories both say, in somewhat different ways, that God created us, in which case it could be said that God is to be obeyed.
What is the truth that the first creations story reveals to us?
Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the first biblical creation story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) differs from the second creation story (Genesis 2:4b-25) not only in content but also in tone, mood and orientation. It also portrays a sequence of creation quite at odds with what science tells us really happened. So, any truths in the first creation story must be moral truths, not answers about how we were created and why we are here.The first biblical creation story tells us that the earth existed before the sun, moon and stars; that there was daylight, even day and night before there was a sun; and that plants were created before there was a sun to sustain them. It tells us, or seems to tell us, that God created every living thing just as we now know know them. Some scholars even say that the first creation story says that the earth itself was pre-existing and uncreated.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
