The Breakfast Club (Torey, Gardner, Palmer, Nick)

Looking at the other two ancient texts, we were able to better understand and appreciate the differences and similarities of Genesis 1-3 and other ancient texts. For example, one similarity is that Genesis 1:2 could be alluding to a story from the Enuma Elish involving the storm God and the primeval sea. There are also many differences. When comparing Genesis 1-3 to Gilgamesh, it is clear that they have different views on who is the creator. Genesis says that God is the creator where Gilgamesh says that Aruru is the creator. These similarities and differences would neither have been noticeable nor significant had we not compared these texts side by side.
