0088 Why do all the written origin stories of the ancient Near East depict a recent creation of humans (with the exception of the Creation Story)?

The hypothesis of the first singularity offers an explanation.  The hypothesis works as a perspective_2c, that virtually brings a situation-dependent interpretation_2b into relation with the contents of the Biblical text_2a.

0089 Of course, the hypothesis is not the only perspective-level actuality_2c.

Another option is God’s Word_2c.

0090 With the passing of the Age of Ideas, the normal context of our current Lebenswelt_3c does not rule out either actuality_2c.

Does the potential of ‘genre as classification’_1c, seem to favor the natural approach of the hypothesis_2c over the supernatural approach of God’s Word_2c?

I wonder.

Well, the name of the book that I am looking at could be titled, “Genesis: Does Genre_1c Contribute to Insights_1b into the Biblical Witness_1a?”.

Plus, the arguments from the contributors seem to give a qualified “yes”.

0091 In other words, the concept of genre_1c gives the reader insight_1b into how the witness is viewing ‘something real’_1a.

0092 The concept of the first singularity_1c offers a hypothesis on the nature of ‘something real’_1a.

At the same time, the hypothesis does not describe the event from within.

Instead, the Genesis witness_1a describes the emergence and fall of Sumerian civilization, the original fruit of the first singularity_2c, from God’s point of view_3c.

So, the answer to the question (in 0090) remains unclear.
