Indeed, the relationship between God and human beings was as a sort of gift exchange, where God not only gives a life, but also various tangible things (children, houses, land, etc.). Therefore, those who pleased merciful God could succeed and be protected by covenants, while others suffered from different disasters. In the 22nd chapter, a type of agreement changes as to mandatory obedience is added a worship ritual to him and God demands Abraham to sacrifice his son: “Take, pray, your son, your only one, whom you love, Isaac, and offer him up as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I shall say to you” (169).

The story of Abraham begins with God telling him that he must leave his home nation and if he does that God would make him a great nation and bless him and make his name great. Since the rise of the modern biblical interpreters, scholars have questioned the historical accuracy of the story of Abraham. Abraham is also credited as the first monotheist by ancient biblical interpreters, they believe that he was the first to discover that there is only one God and that worshipping multiple Gods was useless. However, in the early twentieth century archaeologists discovered that there were certain elements of Genesis that they could confirm, such as, that Abraham’s hometown of Ur was actually a real city that was at the mouth of the Euphrates.

Genesis one outlines the creation of the heavens and the earth. The account makes three essential claims: (1) God is the author of creation, (2) he created with a purpose in mind, and (3) he considers his creation good. This passage does not however, make any claims about when (what time) God spoke into being all that he created, thus “it is very unfortunate that questions of how and when God created have come to dominate Christian discussion of the doctrine of creation” (Olson 175). Since the Bible does not make any claims about when or how, Christians should be primarily focused on the other important features of creation that the account in Genesis reveals.

It is clear to see the purpose God has given us. From the very beginning we have had responsibilities as man( if you believe in Christianity): we have been called to be the who stands above all the other creatures and the one's to take care of Earth( Gen 2:15;19-20). I could go on and on of the responsibilities that God gives us, but as a naturalistic point of view the only thing we are responsible for is being alive. Humans are not set apart to be anything special, they are just “complex machines” trying to figure out what life is about through the study of our natural world. The only credit that naturalists claim to is that the existence of humans was just one big cosmic roll of the dice that happen to land on the right numbers.
