Genesis 1:1 tells us that, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Because of this creative process he is rightly called the sovereign of the universe. He created all things thus he has the right to have that title.

How do Creon's responses to Teiresias show disrespect for the gods in 'Antigone'?

That he contradicts divine will and insults a divine representative is the way in which Creon's responses to Teiresias show disrespect for the gods in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet advises that Theban King Creon's edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead offends the gods. He cautions that divine will guarantees to all Thebans below ground burials of the dead. Creon observes that he will persist in the enforcement of his edict no matter what the gods will. At the same time, he pulls out name calling even though Teiresias is favored by the gods in his astute predictions and skilled interpretation of ritual sacrifices.

How does the myth of otus and ephialtes also show the foolishness of trying to rise above the gods?

The myth of Otus and Ephialtes illustrates the folly of attempting to surpass the gods through their audacious plan to stack mountains to reach the heavens and capture the gods. Their hubris leads to their downfall, as they underestimate the divine power and wisdom of the gods, ultimately resulting in their demise. This story serves as a cautionary tale, emphasizing that human ambition and arrogance can never truly rival the divine order. Their failure reinforces the idea that mortals should respect the boundaries set by the gods rather than challenge them.


Can the sovereignty of The Almighty be questioned or challenged?

His sovereignty was challenged in the garden of eden that is why mankind faces such problems, he gave us time to show if we can rule ourselves without him. He did this on the basis of hope, rather than killing Adam and Eve on the spot he gave us a chance to show him and all intelligent creation that we recognize his right to rule. He allowed himself to be put on trial as it were,the evidence is in and he has proven we can not rule ourselves successfuly, the issue of sovereignty is being delt with now. So the short answer to your question is YES. Ask a Jehovah's Witness to show you from the bible scriptural proof.

How does genesis 1 show Israel's God to be superior to the gods described in the enuma elish?

Many of the creation Myths of the ancient middle east share resemblance. Many (including in the Bible) describes a physical geographycall creation. in the bible beside the Genesis version of creation we can find a version in Psalms 74, 104 and Job 38. However the version in Genesis 1 emphasizes the spirituality of creation, and there aren't motives of rivers battles and sea monsters (that can echo even in Jobs version but can also be interperated as a metaphorical battle) instead of the battle with the sea monster we have a divine process of creation of heaven and earth, it also mentions the creation of the alligators (Taninim) by god which is one of the only breed mentioned in order to show that the sea monsters were actually created by god. Instead of a struggles with the sea theres a master plan and an almighty creating all - god. Let me know if it helped you.
