In “Hymn of Man”, the narrator tells us that the world was created from a thousand headed and legged man. That when he eats, he grows. Three quarters of the man rose up, spreading in all directions to create life. This text is drastically different for “Creation Hymn”. Firstly, in the “Creation Hymn” the narrator tells us that at first, there was only water, then came desire. The overall tone is questioning and unsure, while in “Hymn of Man” it is the opposite. All the words are finite and concrete, giving confident straight forward answers of our origins.

In Genesis 1, the world was created by God. The world was created by him. Before him, the world had no shape, it was simply darkness, and he began to create through his will. His vision/goal was to created opposing sides. Good/bad, light/dark, land/sea. He is the first being, and all powerful being.

In Genesis 2, it is explaining how the details of earth was made. The days of the week, the dust on the ground, the garden of Eden, and most importantly, how he created man. He made a world and then made someone to inhabit it.
