The Epic of Gilgamesh is, perhaps, the oldest written story on Earth. It comes to us from Ancient Sumeria, and was originally written on 12 clay tablets.
From here we in Judea ,. .Christian faith gather our creation stories, we develop further the character of God and struggle with humanity beginnings.
NOT facts they are creation stories.
WE ENTER A CRUEL DEBATE WITH SOME WHO BELIEF IS DESTROYED ,ATTACKED, HUMILATED, IF OTHERS DO NOT AGREE WITH THERE VERY OWN INTERREPATION THAT THE STORIES ARE FACTUAL FURTHER HISTORICALY CORRECT.

Science, archaeology & textual research. Three disciplines that explain why we should take the Bible’s ancient creation stories (Adam & Eve etc.) seriously, as the profound & life-shaping, meaning-making myths that they always were, rather than literally as bits of history!
NOW l don`t always agree with Rev Steve, lot of the time l do-- also wish to keep debating with others around my own little examinations. Thus have aligned with my own critical thinking over the years around these stories.
