1. what similarities can be found across creation narratives, and why do you suppose these similarities exist? is there any historical evidence to support theories regarding these similarities?

Within the historical books of the Bible there are four that, more than historical, are narrative. That is to say, they speak of characters and facts of the history of Israel, but they are more stories than books of history. We would say that they are small novels, which convey an important religious message, because of their what have also been called didactic books. These stories were engraved in the memory of the people of Israel and were included within the Bible. These are stories of characters famous, short, simple, but literally very well written by various authors, and in different historical times of crisis.

There are different ways to base monotheism through fantastic literature.The Torah is the relationship with divinity based on the idea of a contract, the people of Israel make a covenant with the divine, obedience is promised in exchange for a status as a chosen people. The Bible is a literary anthology around the Christian idea that the relationship with the heavenly father is to be understood in terms of filial love, that is why Jesus Christ is the Son of God, sent by the father on a redemptive mission as explained in Romans and with the justification of what is supposedly explained in the Old Testament.Finally, the Koran is the recitation of the direct Word of God in classical Arabic. Thus, the Torah is based on a contractual predisposition, the New Testament on loving sentiment and the Koran on the sonorous rhythm of a certain Semitic language.In other words, God is a "contrayent" in the Torah, is "incarnated" in Jesus Christ and "inlibra" in the Koran, and just as the Koran does to a Muslim submissive, faith in Christ the Redeemer does to a Xtian, so the equivalent to the Koran is not the Bible, is Jesus Christ himself. Thus, as in polytheistic traditions, the basis of monotheism are human metaphors.

Explanation:

The Torah is God's law for the Jews. They are the first 5 books of the Bible, then it is a subset of the 66 books of which the Christian Bible is composed.

The Koran is the religious book of Muslims. Christ is mentioned in some parts, but is not taking into account the 4 historical documents that are in the Bible as autobiographies of Him (the gospels), so neither does it take into account of Him, His claim that He has the power to forgive sins, with what proves to be God made man (the Lord and Savior), nor that He is sent by God, as the prophet anointed by Him in a special way (the Messiah or Christ), so that by putting Muhammad as a prophet superior to Him, we Christians do not believe that the Koran, was inspired by God.
