Is The Bible's Creation Story Borrowed From Pagan Myths? (Genesis 1 Vs. Enuma Elish)

In this video, I examine a claim made by skeptics that the Bible's creation story (Genesis 1) is borrowed from ancient pagan creation myths, specifically those that have been discovered from the Ancient Near East (the time and setting of the Old Testament period). This brief analysis contains a summary of the Enuma Elish, one of the most commonly referenced stories in this conversation, and a section-by-section comparison and contrast of the two stories. At the end of this video, I offer some final thoughts on these stories and explain the unique purposes of each story.
