Episode 3 - The Biblical Creation Narrative

Hi, my name is Clayton Mills.  Welcome to ‘A Short Walk through our Long History’ - a podcast where we look at the events of history, and try to see how those events shaped our modern world. Welcome to Episode 3 - The Biblical creation narrative.  Today we’re going to take a closer look at the creation story that’s found in the book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible.  The story in Genesis is very different from the other creation narratives of the ancient world, in tone, content, and scope. 

Every ancient culture had creation narratives, but not all of them survived.  Some of them we have good chunks of, and others mere fragments.
