actually, the Genesis story is just a rehash of other creationism story of other civilizations.

you can also spot some similiarities with them.

btw, there's an interesting *twist* in the Genesis story... a good one actually. Adam & Even was not banished because disobyed God by eating the fruit of knowledge. they were banished since they might also eat the fruit of life (since they already have the knowledge about good and evil), which would mean immortality for man (that does still not deserve it after doing that).
