Genesis 1 - Answer-1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was
formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over
the waters. 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good,
and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called
"night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. 6 And God said, "Let there be a
vault between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the vault and separated the
water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault "sky." And there
was evening, and there was morning—the second day. 9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be
gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground "land,"
and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, "Let the land
produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according
to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to
their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. 14 And God said, "Let there be lights
in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred
times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth."
And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to
govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the
earth, 18 to gove
Zuni, Talk concerning the first beginning - Answer-The Zuni "Talk Concerning the First Beginning" speaks
directly to the nature of the physical world. If we look closely at the Zuni "Talk," the story imagines the
earth as hollow, with people coming out from deep within the womb of the earth. The earth is mother
and feminine and people are created not just of the stuff of the earth, but also from the earth. They are
, born into a particular place and into a particular environment. In the course of this long history,
imagined as a search for the center (a point of balance and perfection), they undergo significant changes
in their physical appearance, in their social behavior, in their social organization and in their sense of
themselves. By the time they have arrived at Zuni, which they call the center of the world, they have
become pretty much like their present selves.
Christopher Columbus, from Journal of the First Voyage to America - Answer-Christopher Columbus
begins his journal by recounting current events that have been taking place in Spain. He praises his king
multiple times during the prologue. He tells of how "his Highness" defeated the Moors, who had control
of Europe at the time, and how he also routed all of the Jews from his lands during the same year. He
also discusses how princes from India had come to the King in hopes of being converted to Christianity.
It is on this issue that Columbus first arose to prominence. He was given the title "Chief Admiral" by the
King and was told to travel to India from the West in order to help convert the Indians to Christianity.
Aside from the opportunity to win favor from his king and queen, he also decided to embark on this
voyage for self serving reasons. He was promised the authority to govern whatever islands he found
during his voyage and he also wanted to create a new map of the world in which he "shall delineate all
the sea and lands of the Ocean in their proper positions under their bearings."
Now that the reasons for his voyage had been set, he begins the daily account of his voyage starting on
the 3rd of August. The beginning of his voyage was met with a grave problem. The rudder of the ship
Pinta had been tampered with by owners of the ship who didn't want to be apart of the voyage, Gomes
Rascon and Cristobal Quintero. Since one of the three ships was in no shape for a long voyage, they
spent a few days in Gomera fixing it, during which they received news that the king had sent three new
ships with the same mission as Columbus because he had grown weary of waiting for him to reach India.
After hearing this Information, Columbus made haste to leave as soon as possible and was quickly on his
way again.
narrative of the third voyage - Answer-Third Voyage, 1498-1500
Columbus spent most of 1496 and 1497 restoring his reputation with the court and building support for
a third voyage. He left Spain on May 30, 1498, with a fleet of three supply ships headed for Hispaniola
and three ships whose goal was to discover if there was a landmass south of it. Columbus reached the
island of Trinidad on August 1, 1498, and the South American mainland at the Paria Peninsula in
Venezuela on August 5, before heading to the colony on Hispaniola. He found that many of the settlers
