Four Functions of Myths in Genesis

The Genesis of Genesis, the story of sin in the four major functions of Genesis, includes theological, cosmic, social, and ethical issues. These sinful stories, "Fall of mankind", "Cain" and "Abel", "Noah and flood", and "Babel" all show myth function and show human possibility for sin. . These myths make readers understand the culture, beliefs and foundations of the times. Myths are a symbolic way to express truths and beliefs accepted by society. The fact that the teachings of myths of imaginative literature are being read does not necessarily have the basis of historical facts.

The function of myths defined by Joseph Campbell. Specifically, I will explain the four functions of Campbell's myth and show how they are proved in Hopi culture of Native American. Hopis in northern Arizona embodies the four major functions of its mythology in its culture and society. Their society is based on mythological, religious and spiritual celebrations, and when many other tribes deviate from their spiritual and mythical past, they stick to these myths .

The Genesis flood myth is similar to many other flood myths from various cultures, in particular the Sumerian flood myths from Utna Pischim of Gilgamesh, the most likely flood of the Genesis. The earliest known flood mythology of the document is the Sumerian flood myth seen in the Deluge Tablet, where the hero was named Ziusudra. The story of the Quran is repeated in the Quran. There, the ark appears in SafinaNūḥ (Arabic: سفينة نوح "Noah's boat"). Noah 's Ark was searched at least during the Eusebius era (275 - 339 BC), and believers of myths kept searching for it in modern times. Many investigations have been done on the ark, but there is no confirmed physical evidence for the ark. There is no scientific evidence that Noah 's Ark exists in the Bible and there is no evidence in the geologic record of the global flood of the Bible.
