The writings you speak of, have most of their basis in Gnosticism. The story of the brothers is similar to the Mormon story of Jesus and the devil being brothers from the planet Kolob. The Bibles story of creation is different to most popular explanations of it, taught in the mainstream churches. The first creation in chapter 1 covers the whole planet in incredible diversity of creatures and peoples. All very unique from each other in appearance and language. Even in my country Australia in every area they have a different unique appearance. They are different from the New Guinea people and the New Zealand Maori's. When I was in NZ at a museum they had a computer simulation of NZ and Australia joined together and how they seperated. I said to my wife, who warned the snakes to get out first, as NZ have no snakes and before European settlement no animals only birds. All of the first Chapter creation have their own versions of how they got here.
Adam and Eve were formed to begin a plan for all mankind. That plan was postponed by Satans deception and his on going deceptions. The flood was a judgement on the decendants of Adam, not the whole planet. Thats why the Mesopotamian valley was flooded not the whole planet, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat,not on mount Everest. Otherwise there would be no fresh water lakes and rivers only seawater. The ark only contained the animals of that area, and was 120 days without water for the animals and people until it came to rest. Thus they had to be able to throw buckets over the side for the water to survive. The plan continued through the decendants of Noah. Sodom and Gomorrah was a judgement on those cities, the men of the city wanted to know in the biblical sence, the Angels, so Lot offered his virgin daughters to appease them. Which tells us a bit about those cities. *[[Luk 17:27]] KJV* They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. *[[Luk 17:28]] KJV* Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; *[[Luk 17:29]] KJV* But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
*[[Luk 17:30]] KJV* Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. The plan that I believe in is soon to reach its conclusion. With the return of the creator in the form of a man. I am not sure of the end game of those other stories. As for other creation stories the Australian Aboriginal people say the earth was created by a rainbow serpent. Science tells us we all came from one monkey call Lucy. I rest my case.
