Genesis, unlike Darwin's theory, is very poetic and repetitive. The short 'stanzas' of the writing creates the mood of transition from the beginning of time. Everything God says is portrayed: '"Let there be light," and there was light'. Also, at the end of the lines the repetition of time allows the reader to realize that time hs begun and is being counted. The repetition of the last couple words, counting the days, the work is written as ritualistic, or an on-going process. Throughout the work, God commands the world to form and is expressed through short sentences to realoly emphasis the idea of control. At the end of the work, God proclaims that everything is created for man...talking to Adam and Eve.
