Recreativity and Redemption

The relation between the account of the origin of the human species in Genesis 1, and that in Genesis 2-3, is unclear, if not inconsistent. Similarly unclear, if not inconsistent, is that between the satisfied, creative deity of the former, and the demanding, angry deity of the latter. Plainly, much of Biblical 'religion' is a response to Genesis 2-3--the seeking of salvation from a perdition caused by disobedience. In contrast, a religiosity based on Genesis 1 attempts to effect re-creativity, rather than to secure redemption.
