Generally speaking, there seem to be two approaches to early Genesis.
A) The Hebrews "stole" these stories from their neighbors.
B) The stories of the neighbors came from Adam's descendants.
Personally, I find the Biblical accounts much more believable.
I don't know how much of a post this is, but (to me at least) it
represents two different paths to take.
