Levenson (2004, p. 9): "One aspect of narrative in Genesis that requires special attention is its high tolerance for different versions of the same event, a well-known feature of ancient Near Eastern literature, from earliest times through rabbinic midrash [...] This could not have happened if the existence of variation were seen as a serious defect or if rigid consistency were deemed essential to effective storytelling."

"The story of Adam and Eve's sin in the garden of Eden (2.25–3.24) displays similarities with Gilgamesh, an epic poem that tells of how its hero lost the opportunity for immortality and came to terms with his humanity. [...] the biblical narrator has adapted the Mesopotamian forerunner to Israelite theology" (Levenson 2004, p. 9). Levenson, Jon D. (2004). "Genesis: Introduction and Annotations".

The term myth is used here in its academic sense, meaning "a traditional story consisting of events that are ostensibly historical, though often supernatural, explaining the origins of a cultural practice or natural phenomenon." It is not being used to mean "something that is false".
Scholarly writings frequently refer to Genesis as myth (Dolansky 2016). While the author of Genesis 1–11 "demythologised" his narrative by removing the Babylonian myths and those elements which did not fit with his own faith, it remains a myth in the sense of being a story of origins. (Hamilton 1990, pp. 57–58) Dolansky, Shawna (2016). "The Multiple Truths of Myths". Biblical Archaeology Review. 42 (1): 18, 60. Archived from the original on 31 January 2016.

Hamilton (1990, pp. 57–58) notes that while Brevard Childs famously suggested that the author of Genesis 1–11 "demythologised" his narrative, meaning that he removed from his sources (the Babylonian myths) those elements which did not fit with his own faith, Genesis may still be referred to as mythical. Hamilton, Victor P (1990). The Book of Genesis: Chapters 1–17. New International Commentary on the Old Testament (NICOT). Grand Rapids, Michigan: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. p. 540. ISBN 0-8028-2521-4.

David M. Carr points to the differences between the two stories. He argues that the highly regimented seven-day narrative of Genesis 1 features an omnipotent God who creates a god-resembling humanity, while the one-day creation of Genesis 2 uses a simple linear narrative, a God who can fail as well as succeed, and a humanity which is not god-like but is punished for attempting to become god-like (Carr 1996, pp. 62–64). Even the order and method of creation differs (Carr 1996, pp. 62–64). "Together, this combination of parallel character and contrasting profile point to the different origin of materials in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, however elegantly they have now been combined" (Carr 1996, p. 64).
C. John Collins, in contrast, states that "the assertion that the P account lacks anthropomorphisms is mistaken," pointing to the imagery of God as "a craftsman going through his workweek." Collins doubts that the stories come from different sources, and says that, since the original sources are "unrecoverable," the "literary whole invites us to read the two pericopes in a complementary way". Thus he highlights the "overall flow of the narrative," viewing the first narrative as a "big-picture" account followed by a "close-up" on the way God created humanity in the second narrative. He states that "if someone produced this text by stitching sources together, he left the seams smooth indeed." (Collins 2006, pp. 229–231) Carr, David M. (1996). Reading the Fractures in Genesis.

Klamm & Winitzer (2023): "The reason for this admission of Mesopotamian priority is easy enough to appreciate. When it came to world origins, the traditions of this “nation from old” (Jer. 5:15)—traditions that, as the story of Gilgamesh makes explicit, brim with their own antiquity—could not simply be brushed aside. If, then, the Bible was to offer something meaningful about such topics, Mesopotamia’s version of events would necessarily have to be addressed. The challenge presented by Mesopotamia, therefore, would amount to a delicate balancing act: How was the Bible to incorporate this ancient tradition while at the same time not losing its own claim for a theological revolution?"
