AnswerThere are repetition and inconsistency in the biblical Flood account because it really consists of two separate versions of the same story, written by two separate authors, interwoven. One account, by the Yahwist ('J' source) can be identified by, among other things, the use of the name 'Yahweh' for his God. The other account, by the Priestly author ('P' source) can be identified by, among other things, the use of the name 'Elohim' for his God.

The verses attributed to the Yahwist are: Genesis 6:5-8, 7:1-5, 7:7, 7:10, 7:12, 7:16b-17, 7:22-23, 8:2b-3a, 8:6, 8:8-12, 8:13b, 8:20-22.

The verses attributed to the Priestly author are: Genesis 6:9-22, 7:6, 7:8-9, 7:11, 7:13-16a, 7:18-21, 7:24, 8:1-2a, 8:3b-5, 8:7, 8:13a, 8:14-19, 9:1-17.

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.
