The Jewish perception of the how life was created might very from other cultures, but that is what makes the universe so different. Genesis chapter 1 talks about how god created the earth and universe in 7 days, starting with the light and darkness, day 2 creating the waters and the sky, day 3 creating vegetation and seed-bearing plants, day 4 creating the sun, moon, ans stars, day5 creating living creatures, day 6 creating man in his own image, day 7 god rested.
The Native Americans view is that god created man first, and ending with the creation of mother nature and Earth. Instead of god creating the Earth in 7 days, Native Americans believe in the 7 directions East, South, West, North, Above, and Below.
The creating story is just one of many things on Earth that people have that same idea, but have a different interpretation of the story.

I agree with your point that while the way some things are expressed may be different, the overall belief is the same and i also like how you talked about the Jewish. this brought in a whole new perspective that i had never thought of before. Good Job.
Did a good job. Showed that even though the Jewish and Native American beliefs are interpretated differently, they both have the same concept. It was interresting.
You did a good job, and have good points.
The diffrences were very specific and to the point. Good job pp!
Pat you did a really good job. you were very detailed and i understood it well!
Short, Sweet and right to the point. Bottom line I loved it! keep all your reports like this and you'll go places bud.
I liked how you explained the two beliefs and pointed out that there are some differences in how they interperte the creation.
I don't hear a specific statement regarding the theology of "God." But, if I am reading between the lines correctly, then you have concluded that they both are monotheistid and, therefore, the same God. I hope that is a correct read on my part, because that IS the theology - exactly the same God. Also, not sure where you got the "Native American's view that God created man first." Not sure where that came from. Good work. Perhaps being more specific with your statements would be helpful.
very good summary and explanation
I liked how you illustrated the differences between Genesis and the NA story. Very refreshing.
Good work overall and a good idea to give a difference to help your comparison
I like how you pointed out the major differences between the two religions, but still came back to the fact that they believed in the same God. Very good.
