Genesis interpretations - how many are there?

[Angrboda]

Really, can someone tell me how many different interpretations of Genesis are there? 

There;s only one that matters...the rabbinic interpretation.  The people who came up with the story never thought it was literal in the first place.  

It was intended as religious metaphor, poetry, not a news report from the front of theologically unimportant details.  On it;s own merits it succeeds at that.  Why Some Christians™ feel the need to rob magic book is beyond me.

Drich, for example..up there twisting his scrote trying to reconcile contradictory narratives.  The compilers didn;t give a shit.   They knew that the narratives were mismatched but it just wasn;t important to them because they didn;t need it to be true in the way that a bathsit creationist does.

There's internal evidence that the two narratives came from different traditions. The question then becomes, why did the redactors feel it necessary to include both versions. I guess we'll never really know, but if one hews to the notion that the narratives were composited in the seventh century BCE, then there are potential political reasons for the specific inclusions.
