In the two creation stories found in the Book of Genesis, one contradictory detail is the order of creation. In the first story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a), God creates humans last, on the sixth day, after creating animals and the earth, while in the second story (Genesis 2:4b-25), Adam is created first from dust, and then Eve is formed from Adam's rib. Additionally, the first story portrays creation as a systematic process occurring over six days, while the second story presents a more intimate, narrative-driven account focused on the Garden of Eden and the relationships between the characters.
The Bible begins with the book of Genesis and it is there that the two Creation stories can be found.
There are two separate stories of creation in the Book of Genesis. The first is at Genesis 1:1-24a (the first sentence of verse 2:4), while the second is at Genesis 2:4b-2:25.The main points of the biblical creation stories were to explain why we are here and where we came from. Although in many ways very different and even contradictory, the two stories have some things in common.God did not create the earth itself - this was pre-existent.God created all living things.God created man.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Contradictory means in opposition. The two of them gave me contradictory information and I didn't know what to do.
The two witnesses gave contradictory evidence.
There are two complete and quite different creation stories in Genesis - the first in Genesis 1:1-2:4a, the second in Genesis 2:4b-2:25. There are fragments of a third, now incomplete creation story in Psalms and Job.
These two positions may, at first sight, seem contradictory.
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.
Many peoples have creation-narratives, because it is a universal tradition. The account of the Creation in the Hebrew Bible is in the first passages of Genesis. See also:A summary of the Creation-narrative
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.
Just as there are two quite different creation stories in Genesis, plus fragments of a third one in the Psalms and Job, so also are there several Chinese creation stories. This is especially true because China is so large and has so many different traditions, including Buddhism, Daoism and folk religions. With so many different stories, both in the Bible and Chinese belief, there is no simple answer to a simple question like this. Since God is a Semitic concept, God's creation stories are naturally different to the Chinese creation stories. Each creation story is true to its believers.
Giving false or misleading statements to officers is what makes this a crime. If you knowingly hinder an investigating through the use of false information you're more than likely going to be arrested. Two contradictory stories may be beneficial for the officer as then we knows someone or both are lying about the events. It can be construed as false information if they can prove you purposely gave the officer false information.
