It'll be a classic example of revisionism, but I'm already curious how they'll handle the two creation stories in Genesis 1 and 2. Will they replace the mythology with more mythology?
Yes. I’ve always wondered where Cain went to “get a wife”. And then there is the deity using the royal “we” in the text as well. It is used again in the story of the Tower of Babel —peaks of more than one god. These stories source back to Sumerian stories discovered on Cuneiform. The Sumerians pre-date the Babylonians by eons. And there is recent discovery of civilizations that pre-date the Sumerians. The funny thing is that when I read the Old, Old Testament and into the new, it sound a lot like a human psychology text — sort of — and that’s how I understand it — the history of humans finding out how to be human . . . But don’t quote me — that’s just my opinion — I’m not licensed!
Yes, chapters, but I simultaneously thought of the books in the Bible, which biblical scholars attribute to having more than one author. For example, Isiah, has at least three and as many as five. Don't get me started on the NT….

I’m pretty sure since their entire world is mythological, it stands that writing a third Genesis would be right in order.
I meant the first books of Genesis, each with its own creation story.

You mean chapters? I’m aware that it is two stories stitched together, right?
