This is another example of creation stories, and I think this would be difficult for many people to believe. \u00a0I think for the sole reason is that the website it not looking professional!<\/p>\n
The differences all seem to come down to co-operation or competition \u2014 a nice clean-cut satisfying dichotomy. However, a choice must be made: you can only believe ONE of the stories is the true story of creation \u2013 right? That\u2019s the thing about creation stories; only one can be sacred and the others are just stories. Strangely, this analysis reflects the kind of binary thinking that Chamberlin, and so many others, including King himself, would caution us to stop and examine. So, why does King create dichotomies for us to examine these two creation stories? Why does he emphasize the believability of one story over the other \u2014 as he says, he purposefully tells us the \u201cGenesis\u201d story with an authoritative voice, and \u201cThe Earth Diver\u201d story with a storyteller\u2019s voice. Why does King give us this analysis that depends on pairing up oppositions into a tidy row of dichotomies? What is he trying to show us?<\/p>\n
I think King creates these dichotomies to show us how two stories that have the same end result can be so different in the way that they are told and created. \u00a0It is true there has to be one story that a person believes is fact and the others are just pure creative stories. I think that the way a story is portrayed to its viewers makes a huge difference in the believability of a story. Most people would be more likely to believe a story from for example the history channel, compared to a story that is told by word of mouth. \u00a0Which is really quite funny, because most television and movies are glamourized so that people will watch and people fall for it and think it has to be right.<\/p>\n
I think the pairing up the oppositions of dichotomies is to show how different the two stories but also shows the commonalities between the two stories. I think it is important and very easy to follow in the way that he pairs the similarities and differences together.<\/p>\n
