1. How was the world created? What did God do in order to make the world?

2. What is the story of Adam and Eve?

3. What happened with Cain and Abel?

4. What is the story of Noah?


Read: Genesis Ch. 1:1-4:16 and chapters 6 through 9. (There's a link to the right to the Bible in case you don't have one.)

Type up answers to these questions:

For each story, what is the purpose or point of that story?
