Which term denotes the two accounts of creation in Genesis?

• A. Creation Narratives
• B. Genesis Accounts
• C. Creation Stories
• D. Primeval History

Answer: (C)

Genesis contains two separate creation episodes. In the first account, creation unfolds in a orderly, six-day sequence, with humanity made in God’s image and God resting on the seventh day. In the second account, the focus shifts to a more intimate scene in the Garden of Eden, with God forming man from dust and then creating woman. Because there are two distinct narrative pieces about how creation came about, the term that best denotes them is “creation stories” — it clearly signals that Genesis contains a pair of episodes rather than a single, uniform account. The other options are less precise: “creation narratives” is a close synonym but doesn’t specifically emphasize the two separate episodes; “Genesis accounts” is vague and could refer to any parts of Genesis; “primeval history” refers to a broader section (Genesis 1–11) rather than specifically to the two creation pieces.
