I had a fun idea for a note. I was trying to think, okay, if you're teaching Genesis and the cosmology, how could you relate it? And spurred by a comment made at the end of that Ezekiel Bible radical class, the third session, a guy made a comment about, oh, the molten core is God-keeping chaos from us. And I was like, isn't that cool? And Tim makes the point. He's like, yeah, we should absolutely be likening this cosmology. You know, we don't live in the same cosmology. We don't, like they didn't know about molten cores. It's no fault of their own. But we should be kind of looking at it the same way. And it makes me wonder if a priest, if we were to bring a priest from that day to today and told them all about how the world works and if they were going to rewrite Genesis 1, what would it look like? And I have to imagine he'd look at something like the Lamarck point. It starts with an L. But that point at which our planet is. That's the perfect distance. That allows us to thrive on this planet. The physical constants of the universe that allow stars to form and life to evolve. Or the fact that God evolved our cones and rods, like gave us eyes that could perceive color. Like I think of that John Ruskin quote, like God didn't need to do that. Like it's glorious. And just think of like God is the God of color. He's the God of mountains. He's given us not a hostile planet. There too I think of three-body problem. He gave the Salarians a planet that was super hostile and they evolved on it. But obviously it was not a nice planet to evolve on. And so it's conceivable that we could have lived on a very different planet with very different colors, hospitality to life, diversity of life. Again, I'm thinking here too of the planet in Speaker of the Dead. That's very simple. It has the elephant-like animals that fall from trees. Yeah, just all those ideas. And I would think like how good is our God that he keeps the molten core beneath us, that he keeps us free from radiation and from space, that he's given us a planet that's the perfect distance from the sun, that he's given us the right spin so that we produce a magnetosphere that keeps us from radiation. That allowed us to evolve. Like how cool is that? And I just think that's incredible. So that would be an interesting exercise is to go through and rewrite a cosmology that accomplishes some of the same points. Because the other points too... New paragraph. The other points too indicate that they had a certain conception of the world that allowed them to go... Think of like east of Eden, up and down. We don't have a vocabulary, but could you build any literary vocabularies that you could build cues in the future that would indicate, hey, this is good, this is bad. Oh, they're going up, they're going down, and tell stories in that way. We don't really tell history that way. I think that's something that we can learn from the ancient authors. The symbolic way of seeing the universe and seeing the world is very different. So I want to keep thinking about this Genesis one, but that class really blew my mind.
