Butbyincorporatingelementsofthisculturalmilieuofthetime, Genesisprovides, though a theologicalreinterpretation, still a reinterpretationorinterpretationofwhatwascommonandhappeninginancientMesopotamiaaroundthistimeperiod.
Forexample, thefloodmythfoundinGenesisis a directcopyofwhathappensintheEpicofGilgameshandis a perfectexampleofGenesistakingsomethingthatwasjustanepicmyth.

Wehave a hardknownfactofwhatsciencehasbeenabletoindicate, repeat, andshowthattheworldasitisinrealityversustheworldasdescribedinGenesisarenotworkingtogether.
There's a misconceptionbycertainChristiansthatGenesisgives a fullaccountingofwhatweneedtoknowfrom a historicalperspectiveabouttheplacesthatexistedandthepeoplethatexistedandthatthatwasall.
WeknowthatsomuchoftheworldwashappeningbeforewhatwashappeningthereasdescribedinGenesisintheancientNearEast, yetalonewhatwashappeningintheAmericasandwhatwashappeninginplaceslikeChina, etc.
And I thinktheyarisehereinGenesis, maybemorethananywhereelseintheBible, justbecauseofwhatGenesisclaimsversuswhatweknowtobetrue.
創世記が主張することと、私たちが知っている真実とが異なるからだ。
I'llendbyjustsayingthatGenesisisprofound.
最後に、創世記は奥深いということだけ言っておこう。
