Where can you find the Muslim creation story?
The creation story is mentioned in various places in the Qur'an. Some say the Qur'an confirms the Big Bang theory of the Universe because it says: "Do they not see that the Universe was one piece of matter, and that God exploded it apart"? The Muslim creation story is based on the accounts in the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew and Christian Bibles. There are fragmentary references to this in the Quran but, since the Quran is not a simple narrative, a better overview can be obtained by reading Genesis 1:1-2:4a (the first cration story) and Genesis 2:4b-25 (the second creation story) and understanding that all three religions harmonise these as if they were a single account. Islam does have some different interpretations of these texts, particularly in the story about the forbidden fruit in Genesis chapter 3, so it will be necessary to return to Islamic sources for an understanding of these differences.
How many creation accounts does the Book of Genesis have?
The Book of Genesis has two creation accounts, and arguably a third. The first account, Genesis 1:1-2:4a, is attributed to an anonymous source now known as the Priestly Source, writing during the fifth century BCE at the time of the Babylonian Exile. The second account, Genesis 2:4b-25 and chapter 3, is attributed to an anonymous source now known as the Yahwist, writing around the ninth century BCE, and is much more primitive than the Priestly version. Some scholars say that chapter 5 is a separate creation account, while others prefer to treat it as a restatement in altered form, of the second account.Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that although the second creation story departs from the first in content, tone, mood and orientation, the pious readers, believing that the text cannot contain contradictions, ignore the major disjunctions between the two creation stories and tend to treat the second story as the fuller, more detailed account of the creation of man (and woman) that the first story simply reported. Nevertheless, there really are two distinct creation accounts in the Book of Genesis.For more information, please visit:http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creationhttp://christianity.answers.com/bible/the-book-of-genesis
Why are there two creation stories in Genesis?
There are two different creation stories:The first is Genesis 1:1-2:3The second is Genesis 2:4-25It is thought this is due to several different texts being put together to form the present Bible and TorahAnswerScholars now realise that there were three main sources, or authors, for the Book of Genesis. There are two creation stories in Genesis because two different sources, the Yahwist and the Priestly Source each wrote his own story. The Yahwist wrote the second creation story (Genesis 2:4b-20) during the ninth century BCE, based on earlier Judahite traditions. The Priestly Source wrote what is now the first creation story (Genesis 1:!-2:4a) during the sixth-century-BCE Babylonian Exile, based on traditions he found among the Babylonians. It appears the Priestly Source was prevented from removing the earlier tradition or found it too difficult, since the Yahwist creation story more or less continues all the way to Noah. Instead, he simply added his own version at the beginning of Genesis.AnswerThe Yahwist and Priestly sources are not from individual authors, most likely, but from different groups with different schools of thought in very different times (during the kingdom as opposed to exile, as noted in previous answer).Also, these two sources, as well as the Elohist, the other source for Genesis, are woven together with the Deuternomist (D) source throughout the rest of the Pentateuch (Gen -Deut), with D being primarily in, and the primary source for, our book of Deuteronomy,That being said, these sources are very, very often woven together without any real apparent concern for explaining inconsistent detailsHowever, this does not disprove the Bible. My take is that we misread some of the Bible. This part, for instance, is not history of the world spoken word - for - word by God. Rather, ancient writers did not think about history the same way moderns do, with strict concern for preciseness. Rather, they were making theological claims about who God is over and against the claims of competing pagan religions in Canaan and Babylon

Christians believe in the Genesis account of what events?
A:There are many accounts in Genesis that Christians, to a greater or lesser extent believe in. In some cases, that belief may be based on a misunderstanding of the text, but the belief is still real. For example, there are two different stories of the creation, yet many Christians, believing that the text cannot contain contradictions, ignore the major disjunctions between the two creation stories and tend to treat the second story as the fuller, more detailed account of the creation of man (and woman) that the first story simply reported, and then believe this reinterpretation of the passages.Christians believe in the Genesis account of Noah's Flood, although there are actually two, somewhat different accounts conflated. They believe in the stories of the Tower of Babel and of the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It is considered an article of faith that Christians should believe the accounts to be found in the Book of Genesis.
