The Genesis creation myth is the biblical account of the beginnings of the Earth, life, and humanity as described in the first two chapters of the Book of Genesis. It is considered a sacred narrative: p.9 in Judaism and Christianity, but in Islam, as the Quranic account of creation is substantially diferent. Traditionally viewed by Jews (and still viewed that way by Orthodox Jews) as having been authored by God, it was later adopted by Christians as well. The Genesis creation narratives have had an exceptionally long and complex history of interpretation. Until the latter half of the 19th century, they were seen as one continuous, uniform story with Genesis 1:1-2:3 outlining the world's origin, and 2:4-2:25 carefully painting a more detailed picture of the creation of humanity.
