Arguing from the English Translation?

On what basis do you decide that Genesis isn’t part of the Judeo-Christian worldview but other books are?

I didn’t say that. I said that it cannot be known that it is a product of that worldview.

It is also part of the Islamic worldview, but Islam did not produce this story.

One could conceivably limit the scope of a story (e.g., Gen 2-3) on its own terms. Or, one could read it in light of a larger literary (or even canonical context). For Jews and Christians, this story is part of a larger (meta-)narrative, and thus the large and small stories will be mutually interpretive.

Sure.

In this discussion, I am concerned with the story on its own terms.
