Creation stories are symbolic accounts of how the world and its inhabitants came to be. These stories first developed in oral traditions, so there are multiple accounts of them from different cultures and societies. The Babylonian creation story, the Genesis creation story, and the Sumerian creation story of Enkidu are examples of this, and the similarities are interesting. As Dennis Bratcher states: “Because of many parallels with the Genesis account, some historians have concluded that the Genesis account was simply a rewriting of Babylonian history. In reaction, many of those who wanted to maintain the uniqueness of the Bible argue either that there were no real parallels between the stories or that the Genesis stories were written before the Babylonian myth borrowed from the biblical account” (Bratcher “When on High…”). This discussion about authenticity has been going on for years and will continue to go on. In light of their dispute, this article will be an attempt to analyze the similarities of the gods in the different civilizations that these creation stories focus on. He will discuss the similarities of creation myths in three different cultures; Hebrew, Babylonian and Sumerian. The function and cultural values ​​promote significant differences and indicate changes in universal “creation” themes. He will discuss the likelihood that a creation story was the primary source from which the authors of the other creation stories took their works, there is a god who creates man. In the Babylonian story, the god Marduk creates man from the blood of another god Kingu. “They bound him and held him before Ea; punishment they inflicted on him by cutting his blood arteries... in the middle of a sheet of paper, there is no evidence that any of the first humans created were placed in their worlds as children. We understand that they have all simply been placed in their worlds as adults or older beings. There is no specific age mentioned in any story. Works Cited Bratcher, Dennis.
