Problematizing the Familiar
(Book of Genesis 1-3)
  1. Are the two cosmogonies (origin of the world) in conflict with each other? Why? What are the questionable factors (Genesis 1: 1-31; 2: 1-3, and 2: 4-14) ?
  2. Are the two accounts of the creation of man and woman (Gen. 1: 26-28, and Gen. 2: 7 & XXXXXXXXXXin conflict with each other? Why? What is the “gender relationship” implied in the description like that “God created Eve out of rib of Adam”? What is your take-on when God is portrayed as the God who did not know ahead of time that “man shouldn’t be alone,” and “there is no suitable partner for Adam in the animal Kingdom”?
  3. What was the warning of God regarding the fruit of the “Tree of knowledge” (Gen. 2:17 & 3:3)? Did Adam and Eve really die right after eating that fruit (Gen. 3: 10-11; 3: 22; 5: 3-4)?
  4. What kind of instant changes occurred to Adam and Eve right after they ate the fruit? Are the capacities of being able to “know the good from evil” and “acknowledge one’s own physical condition (nakedness) really negative development of human nature (by-product of original sin)? Why?
  5. What were the punishments of Adam and Eve? Were the severity and fairness of God’s punishments problematic? Why? Who, Adam or Eve should take more blame for the fall (Gen. 3:16-17)? Why? What is the implication of gender relationship according to God’s statement that “he [Adam] should rule over you [Eve],”? Do you agree or disagree to it?
  6. What was God(s)’s anxiety over the possibility that Adam and Eve may reach their hands to the fruit of “Tree of Life” (Gen 3: 22-23)? What are the characteristics of God portrayed in here?
  7. What is the nature of the relationship between God, and Adam & Eve, suggested in this narrative i.e. Inter-dependent, Authoritative and Hierarchical, Parental-Loving, or Others? Why?

1.
The two cosmogonies are in conflict with each other. The reason for this is that one
shows that earth evolved and another shows that God has made the world. On the other hand the
Genesis shows a story behind how man was made by God and depicts that there has been
evolution. But at the same time there is no scientific bearing in it. In this way conflict does exist.
2.
The two accounts of the creation of man and woman (Gen. 1: 26-28, and Gen. 2: 7 & 15-
24) are in conflict with each other. The reason behind this is that they do not depict the same
gender relationship. The story of Adam and Eve shows companionship among man and woman.
When God is portrayed as the God who did not know ahead of time that “man shouldn’t be
alone,” and “there is no suitable partner for Adam in the animal Kingdom”, it is mainly because
