thank you , thank you for sharing your lively thoughts. I am trying...trying...to get a bible camp series together on creation, and you are helping me. or hindering me by adding more to my tome of info. anyway...what came to my mind as I was listening, was the revealing of good and the righteous declaration of it. Yet there was this tree of 'knowing' good and evil. or, as I am wont to call it, the measuring stick tree. "Gee, I thought I was pretty darn tall till I stood beside you!" But here's a question. Was their interaction with that serpent in that tree an unveiling of God's naked perfection - something like what was pictured with Noah in start #2, or the naked Jesus on the cross? a revelation/knowledge of something nakedly so -holy and terribly - that could never be carried by a creature? Too weighty? Were they, like Isaiah, totally 'undone and doomed' by seeing God; not only seeing the 'good' he had already chosen to reveal, but the horrible judgements that are just in his hand? Were they on their way to the tree of life, who, upon eating, would have had them measuring up, clothed in that tree's righteousness? But not having done that were yet 'fallen short', (but destined for salvation even before eating the fruit offered by the serpent?) Oh man. and this for 12 year olds...

1. The general, (or 'masculine') cosmos and the special (or 'feminine') Earth (Genesis 1:1). It should be immanently clear as to where this is going: 2. The Earth, as its own general subject, implying that which we all intuit is most valuable about the Earth unto itself in all the cosmos: its abiding maximal abundance of open liquid water (Genesis 1:2). 3. that water and its special relation to the Sun's light, hence the water cycle (vs. 3-10); 4. The water cycle and its special beneficiary and member, biology (vs. 11-12); 5. biology and its special category, animal biology (plant/animal/mineral = animal) (vs. 20-22, 24-25); 6. Animal biology and its special category, human (vs. 26-28); 7. The general man and the special woman (Genesis 2:21-23). Indeed, of the exactly five things that the account reports that God named (vv. 5, 8, 10), these five seem to be the five things of the Earth's own part in the water cycle: 1 and 2: Binary cyclically distributed thermal regulation ('day' and 'night', v. 4-5, phenomenologically described ); 3: Radiologically mediative atmosphere ( 'shamayim' vs. 6-8 ); 4 and 5: Thermally binary surface distribution system ( 'erets' and 'yawmim' vs. 9-10 ).

But why was it good? Is it that it was good in it's present state or that it was good because it is nessecary to get to the good stuff? Is earth good or very good? No. So why would anyone call it good? Because to make a knowledgeable person it takes a school. It takes a learning process. Is the school itself the final outcome? No. Is the school itself very good? No. The outcome of what the school makes though is very good. That's why he called it good. Not because it is good in it's present created state but the outcome that it will bring in the future. Earth is only practice. That's all it ever was. In the long run none of it means anything at all and it will be left in the dust eventually. Maybe we'll visit it again for some reason. But all that earth is is a puff of smoke in the long run, it's short,, doesn't last long, and it's only practice. In this way it is good. Not that it is good right now or that it was created good and should be enjoyed or anything like that. It's only good because it will make excellent beings but it isn't there yet. To learn the whys of these saying all you have to do is look in other parts of the book. And there is no hell, that's stupid.
