Abstract

The study explores human creation through three narratives: the formation of Adam from earthly soil, the emergence of Eve from Adam’s rib, and the universal genesis of humanity through the union of man and woman, with life unfolding in the womb. These narratives are analyzed interdisciplinarily at the intersection of genetics, anthropology, and theology. The paper proposes a personal translation of Ps 139:13–16, which is closely related to Gen 1–2, drawing from fourteen Bible versions. It notes that most Romanian versions omit the word נוראות, while other essential words have diverged from the original meaning. The study suggests that life conception in the womb symbolizes interdependence and complementarity, reflecting the miracle of birth and inspiring praise to God, as echoed in Psalm 139. Theologically, the poem reflects a symphony, aiming at unity, upholding the Edenic ideal of the divine pair, and returning to the unaltered divine blueprint.
