The Japanese Creation myth basically talks about all the elements being combined and particles moving that cause a 'heaven' and an 'earth' to be formed. It then goes on to say the first 3 gods appeared [mysteriously]. After that it essentially goes on to talk about how they created everything on the earth.

The record of Creation taken from Genesis states that there was God. He has been there eternally [eternal God]. God then creates light, water, creatures, vegetation, man (Adam first, and later Eve), etc over a period of seven days. Everything was perfect [on earth] and God said it was 'very good'. But Satan, who was an angel (previously called Lucifer), fell and took a third of the angels with him.

Satan then came and tempted man to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eve ate it first, and then gave the fruit to Adam to eat. They then became sinful and were forced to leave the Garden of Eden (Which was later destroyed either before or during the Flood).

Main Differences:

Japanese Myth = The gods mysteriously appeared

Genesis [Biblical] Record = God has always been there, an uncreated being

When was the creation of the Archangel Michael?

According to some theological suppositions between Genesis 1, verse one and two.


Genesis 1 is the broad outline and Genesis 2 fills in details where would Genesis 2 best fit into Genesis 1?

More correctly, Genesis 1 through to 2:4a is a general outline of the whole creation and the rest deals with the creation of man and his position over creation and the relationship between man and woman. Thus the detail which is in the second section deals with and enlarges upon the creation of man mentioned in a general sense in Genesis 1. This is in line with known ancient practice from other ancient writings. So, if one is trying to fit Genesis 2 into Genesis 1 it belongs in the part dealing with the creation of man.


What does genesis chapter 2 mean?
