Earth Diver	Genesis	Science
An oral storytelling voice and craft the story in terms of a performance for a general audience	A sense of rhetorical distance and decorum while organizing the story for a knowledgeable gathering
The conversational voice tends to highlight the exuberance of the story but diminishes its authority	The sober voice makes for a formal recitation but creates a sense of veracity
The universe is governed by a series of co-operations-Charm, the Twins, animals, humans- that celebrate equality and balance	The universe is governed by a series of hierarchies-God, man, animals, plants- that celebrate law, order, and good government
Deities are generally figures of limited power and persuasion, and the acts of creation and decisions that affect the world are shared with other characters	All creative power is vested in a single deity who is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. The universe begins with his thought, and through his actions and only his actions that it comes into being.
We beging with water and mud, and, through the good offices of Charm, her twins, and the animals, move by degrees and adjustments from a formless, featureless world to a world that is rich in its diversity, a world that is complex and complete.	We begin with a perfect world, but after the Fall, while we gain knowledge, we lose the harmony and safety of the garden and are forced into a chaotic world of harsh landscapes and dangerous shadows
The world is at peace, and the pivotal concern is not with the ascendancy of good over evil but with the issue of balance	The post –garden world we inherit is decidedly material in nature, a world at war—God vs. the Devil, Humans vs. the element … competitive.
Creation is a shared activity A world that begins in chaos and moves toward harmony A world determined by co-operation	Creation is a solitary, individual act A world that begins in harmony and slides toward chaos A world marked by competition
