As time has progressed since the creation of mankind, there have been many attempts to create an account of this great creation. Some versions of the creation of man seem more absurd than others, but who can really tell which is more accurate than the others. Based on the accounts of the Bible and Aristophanes we get two contrasting backgrounds on the creation of humankind.
According to the Bible in Genesis 2:7 God's last acts of creation was that God formed man and woman. According to Aristophanes there was the creation of man in three types which included the male, female, and the one that had both male and female elements. According to the Bible, God first created man's body and everything was in place, but lifeless. Next, God started man's heart and lungs to function and man came alive. God was the source of life, and the material man was made of the lifeless materials of life. God had breathed in man's nostrils the breath of life. The Bible also states that man was made personally by God from the dust of the Earth. Unlike Genesis's version of creation, according to Aristophanes the first humans had four hands, legs, and two faces. Between the two faces s was one head with four ears. Humans also had two sets of sexual organs and eight limbs. When mankind became corrupt Zeus sought to cut man in half so that they could lose their strength from such a loss. After they cut Man in half they began to take on characteristics of man as we know him today. They had to walk upright on two legs, and Apollo formed the stomach, mouth, navel, breasts, all when humans were cut in half. Zeus also came up with the plan of moving their genitals to the front, whereas they used to have their genitals outside. .
Aristophanes believed that when make embraced male they would have the satisfaction of intercourse and embrace each other's needs in life. In the Bible, unlike the account of Aristophanes man's partner was the female.
