   The true one in Genesis. Not Satan’s evolution theory lies.

   There are many mythologies and then there are facts.
   Religion discourages the search for facts, settling instead for “god did it”.

   I used to enjoy reading the ancient Greek creation myths. But I know most about the Genesis story.

   The Genesis creation story derives from the Canaanite creation story, which itself derives from the Sumerian creation epic.

   The name for God in the creation story in Genesis is Elohim. The Elohim are the sons of El in the Canaanite pantheon. They were ruled by El Elyon (God Most High), and later by Hadad the rain god, who is generally the god referred to by the title Baal (Lord).

   In Genesis 14:18-22, Abram is blessed by Melchizedek, the Canaanite High Priest of El Elyon and king of Salem, and Abram accepts the god as his.

   The enemy of the Elohim is Yam (the sea), a chaos monster slain by Baal. This might have been derived from the Sumerian creation epic Enuma Elish, in which the god Marduk battles the great dragon Tiamat (the waters of chaos, and mother of the gods) and divides her body to create the heaven and the earth. And in Genesis 1:6-7, God divides the waters.

   Marduk hangs up his bow in the sky after his victory over Tiamat, much as God does in Genesis 9:13 after the Flood.

   Easy.
