pundek tambye,
What is the story of creation by brahma, visnu and siva as compared to genesis?
Some suggestions..
The Indian/Hindu perspective is based on the idea, the distinction between Principle and Manifestation. The Principle lies absolutely beyond, and is distinct from illusion or Manifestation.
Brahma, Visnu and Siva comprises of the iconology/iconography/symbolism/syllogism, the logical framework, through which metaphysical principles are discussed and occurrences explained.
The Hindu or Central Asian perspective is not easily absorbed by passionate Arabs and Jews, Hinduism being a primarily an Aryan perspective. Please view the Indo European migration here:

Arabs and Jews understand more easily using the idea of Divine Names, which is abstract as compared to the more fluid iconolgy of the Aryan perspectives with its complicated system of avatars, which is visual.
The idea of Christ, the logos, the Only One Avatar is injected back into the Aryan way of thinking via Christianity, where Oneness takes primacy over multiplicity, whence the idea of Divine Names is much more palatable to the 'Semiticized' psyche as compared to 'so many gods'.
Keeping in mind the points above: To answer your question, the Hindu perspective emphasizes time as cyclical and that at every moment, the universe is being re-created, or breathed new life into at every moment.
And we are currently in the Era of Vice or Kali Yuga, the last and final age, the other three having passed by already, The idea behind these eras are illustrated here:

Being conscious or minding once breath is most basic and lies within the core of every religious perspective.
Please do read the works of Ananda Coomaraswamy for more..
In Genesis, the perspective used is much more 'personable' or 'personal'. God created this and that and ultimately man in his own image, meaning within man lies all Divine Names, but not so the other creatures. The system of metaphysics in genesis is vastly different from that of Hinduism.
The character of man is, he forgets, so he must be made to remember. By mentioning the Divine Names, man remembers his beginings.
Fuck your mother's pundek, stupid!
Till next time.
