Hell tastes bad.
Edwards' goal is to instill terror into listeners to motivate them to behave morally in order to avoid the nearly inedible eternal hell.
We as humans can never overgeneralize too much in this life.
Morality can be used to define every single action and inaction that humans have made since the dawn of our time.
Worldwide destruction: no fuss, no muss!
How can the gods and YHWH destroy all of humankind in one shot? They can flood the whole Earth! It is simple and it does not create a mess.

Human nature, for humans.
Humans can never be completely sinless they must sin to be human that is their flaw and what makes them as close to perfect as they can possibly be.

Do all thing good in the Lords eyes, no!
1. Describe the divine-human relationship and the character of the gods in the Epic of Gilgamesh.
In the Epic of Gilgamesh the divine-human relationship differs in ways butalso shares some common thoughts also.
Ea is a god that has a tendered heart and feels very trustworthy towards Gilgamesh and that he can carry out life.
During the Epic when death occurs the hero of the story is spun into a disbelief and mis-understanding.
While in the other story the Gods seem to have there own thing going on an they have human characteristics too, to me when they talk about having more Gods it seems to have more human characteristics, like “round my neck”.
2. Describe the divine-human relationship and the character of God in Genesis.
Other than Noah the relationship between the LORD and all other mankind is not as well or even be seen as an un-godly like relationship.
There is only one Lord, thus all communication between him and Noah is direct between the two.
Now that the Lord was to be the judge of your behavior would feel as if you had done all thing good in the Lords eyes, no.
Now with Noah God takes a more direct approach and comes to him directly telling him that he is the most riotous of all man kind and for this he and his family will be spared.
Even though in both stories the Gods say there will very exterminate mankind with flood again there is still the reason why they did it in the fist place.
3. Define “primeval history” and describe the universal or primeval questions that each text is written to answer.
Primeval questions can be defined as questions that answer universal questions.
Questions like these have continuously been asked throughout history by every race or, region of people and more times than not people, so where do they get their answers from.
Throughout all the tales that Gilgamesh encounters there are small and discreet answers to these questions, all of which I found to be more consist and easier to understand from my viewpoint.
After God say this it seems to me a primeval questions occurs, Like in the long run How does God feel about what he created, he gets frustrated with us but is learning to accept what we have become he needs to set rules and regulations but you cannot just wipe out humankind and just start all over.
Primeval History is supposed to be history that tells us something over time. Primeval questions can be anything aslong as it tells a long term affect on whatever point it is trying to get across. In the book of Genesis questions I came up with was what will become of humans and the earth we live? We know how it turns out but when reading this story your mind could wonder and you can imagine if something happened differently what the outcome could have been.
In the book of Genesis, the main primeval questions that are answered are, “why do we die?” and “why do we have good and bad people, animals, and critters?”
Primeval question arise through the story because it makes you wonder why is this story important, why are we reading it, it has to be for some reason.

Just a taste of what's to come
I am presently grading papers written by my Old Testament class. The students were to discuss the Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis flood narratives as examples of "primeval history", defined as stories meant to address questions universal to all humanity such as "what is the meaning of life?" I plan to present a master work of all the wonderful excerpts I'm amassing, but I couldn't resist sharing this student's confused reflection upon the texts.
“How can I rest, how can I be at peace” suggest that all humans have hearts that shows compassion for there loves ones and remorse for the ones lost. This also helps us us understand why life is so difficult and hard to comprehend at times but do you get a different answer. Maybe so, this primeval question has been and will still continue to be view and interpreted in different manners but still have a consist theme.
