The biblical book of Genesis contains two contradictory accounts of humanity's creation. The first account is known as the Priestly version and...Here God fashions man and woman simultaneously... The second account of Creation is known as the Yahwistic version and is...the version of Creation that most people are familiar with. God creates Adam, then places him in the Garden of Eden. Not long afterwards, God decides to make a companion for Adam." Why do such differences exist and how does each culture deal with the differences in a story that is so important?
