This article focuses on the discovery of the Babylonian version of the creation account, namely, the Enuma Elish. The author observes a number of things from the account, including that gods were created, and that man was created to save the gods from working. The author attempts to establish the veracity and superiority of the creation account as presented in Genesis 1.

This article will argue that when we read Genesis 1 in its context, it should be understood as a historical account that teaches that God created everything in six 24-hour days. It also argues that the grammatical-historical interpretation should be the principle of interpretation on the creation account.
