All cultures use creation myths to attempt to answer the questions we all have on the origin of the Universe: what is real? What should I do? What is my purpose? Who am I? Surprisingly the Bible has two stories of creation featuring two Adams:
- The first one thinks I can (Gen. 1).
- The second one cannot think straight (Gen. 2).
The question “who am I?” may just be the ultimate question, since answering it is also demystifying the “God” label. There’s a movie on that subject I may enjoy watching | here (WHY can’t I be your type?)
