The final thing I want to mention about Genesis 1, is that while I was reading it occurred to me that God was creating. Yes, God was creating stuff he'd never seen before. Out of an idea God thought the world in existence. Imagine creating water when water never existed. Imagine, thinking about all the plants and the animals and thinking them into existence one by one.
I think that when God throughr the dinosaurs into existence he concluded it was a mistake. The world he created was not the world he wanted to create and so it was destroyed. I can't imagine that the dinosaurs kept god engaged with his creation.
This would mean that there is a learning principle that I feel is at work with God. Could God be learning about this world through us? Could we be God's eyes and ears? Yes. I believe God is learning with us. Where does that leave us? Well that means that we have a responsibility yes a responsibility to live the best lives that we can so that God can experience his goodness.
When I create error in my life what an I teaching God? I'm teaching god about error and this is something that I think about every time I make decisions in my life. I ask myself what am I teaching God here.
What do you teach God?
