In the two creation accounts God is portrayed in two different ways. In the first account God is portrayed as an ultimate or Supreme Being that creates the world by fiat, which are divine spoken words. An example of this is found in Genesis 1:3, which says; "Then God said, "let there be light"; and there was light." This is the fiat command that creates light in the first account of creation and demonstrates the supreme power of God. In the second Genesis account God is portrayed as a much more mortal being, a concept called anthropomorphism. In Genesis 2:7 God creates man, but it wasn't done through fiat. It says, "Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being." This account of God creating man is much different from the first account because God is physlically-taking part in creating man instead of using powers by way of fiat. Another instance that portrays God as more humanlike is found in Genesis 2:8 where it says God "planted" the garden in Eden. The use of the word "planted" suggests that God physically interacted with the earth to create the garden.
             A second difference between the two creation accounts is the order in which the world was created. In the first account God created light, sea, land, vegetation, living creatures, then man and woman. In the second account God created man from the earth (so land was created before man) then God planted the garden in Eden and provided animals to give man a helper. The woman is the last creature to be created in the second account, and is actually the same order in which the woman was created in the first account. The main difference in the two accounts is that man and woman are created last in the first account, and in the second account, man is created before any life form and the rest seems to be provided for him; even woma...
