The First type of deity that we have in Genesis chapter 1 is a all powerful mighty God that started the creation of the Earth and everything about the Earth in just six days. I think the text presents this deity as such because it is the beginning of everything and he is the ultimate all mighty God that creates life. The all mighty God started off by creating earth and everything on it and that inhabits it and then creates man which was made in the image of God.

I think that Genesis has to creation myths because so many people have different opinions on if they came simultaneously or if man came before women. The creation of them simultaneously i think makes more sense because God is not a man or a woman he is both of them and God created all of his children after him so that has to mean that he was both man and women and that he was everything.

The tree of knowledge is a very decisive tree that tries to deceive adam and eve into thinking its good food and its not evil. I think that represents desire and our human weakness. Knowledge is forbidden to the point of knowledge because if you have knowledge then you have questions and if you have questions then you question God and who created you and you start questioning everything. The tree of knowledge is desire in form of a tree with undesirable fruit.
