NOTE

Primordial Non-Violence in Genesis Creation Account

Comparing the Genesis creation account with other creation stories, it highlights a unique aspect of non-violence. While popular myths involve violent conquest over hostile forces for world stability, Genesis 1 presents a non-hostile watery beginning. In Genesis, the waters are not hostile to God; sea monsters are not violently subjugated but told to multiply. Humanity is tasked to rule realms beyond control, such as the sky and sea, on a vegetarian diet, setting a backdrop of non-violence in the creation narrative.
