Genesis
Many epics and myths of previous generations can compare to stories of the Old Testament. Myths such as the Enuma Elish, story of Ba\'al, and the Gilgamesh Epic all relate to chapters in Genesis, Psalms, and many other\'s in the Bible. The Gilgamesh Epic especially refers to the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2:4-11:32. Both describe the suffering, evil, and mortality result from human arrogance and rebellion.

…showed last 75 words of 1022 total…arrogance of human behavior that brought sin into this world.
Thus, writers through the ages in both the Bible and mythological literature have shown that man\'s sinful nature, human arrogance, and rebellion have caused suffering, evil, and mortality. The depictions of this are similar in the book of Genesis and the Gilgamesh Epic. However, the Bible meshes the fall of Adam and Eve with the hope that God protects his people regardless of sin.
