vs 1.9
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered unto one place, and let the dry land appear. vs 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas... and GOD saw that it WAS GOOD!!! vs 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth vegetation, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, and it was so... And GOD saw that it WAS GOOD!!!
So now God has this blank canvas upon which he starts life. We are told that first there was nothing, then something: From nothing to something.
What glorious beauty God must had envisioned when He brought fourth the dry land from the seas. From the clay and dirt, rocks and ash, God sees it fit to design beauty into the landscape. A blank canvas, God sees in His mind a masterpiece of exquisite and exotic plants. Flowers of all kinds, trees bearing fruit to those bearing thorns. Herbs and grasses. Bushes and vines. Plants that live within the water.
A master builder and artist that rivals the best masters of history, God creates divine beauty upon the earth. Such that has never been known before unto the other Gods. Weaving intricate cell structures into the plants, God forms a landscape of majestic splendor. Building into each plant codes upon which they will survive. Telling them when to sleep and when to wake. When to grow and when to die back. Designing those that will produce fruit for food. And those that will defend against attack.
And the vast palate of color. God creates colors that have not been seen before. From all shades of green, to yellows and pinks. From browns to reds. Orange, purple, blue.
In deep space, there is color. The other Gods formed their universes with color. As seen from Hubble, one can look at this photo to see that color does exist in the vastness of infinity.
Color is no stranger to God. God creates earth and paints it with a beauty beyond anything that has been seen before. "And It Was Good"!!!
I'm intrigued by your theories. Like you, I believe God has a humorous side. It is an interesting study you have embarked on, and I look forward to following it. The only issue I have with your post is the idea of other gods. It makes me think of the Greek gods we all study in college and how they liked to challenge and play with each other. It is my deepest belief that the God of the Christian Bible is the one true God, and therefore the only God. I love your sketch of him as an artist, an engineer, and a designer for he is all that and so much more. But, everytime you refer to other gods, it's as though a delightful ringing bell suddenly goes flat. I'll continue to follow and in future, perhaps I can persuade you that God is the truth, the light, and the way, and the ONE true God.
