The Nature of God in Genesis The depiction of God in the creation story of the Bible, i.e. Genesis, brings to mind the image of an omnipotent, omnipotent and almighty child playing in a sandbox. Like a child, his only purpose seems to be simply to have fun and possibly acquire a source of unconditional love. These needs are in contrast to the classical view of God acting with the idea of ​​an ultimate plan. His actions clearly show that there is no perfect plan, or if there is it must be extremely complicated. God consistently makes bad decisions and then ultimately acts to resolve the situation. The entire scenario evokes the image of the Apollo 13 crew, alternately breaking things and then patching them together with duct tape. The initial idea of ​​God was good. He was alone in the void. Either out of boredom or perhaps out of a need to have someone else confirm his greatness, he creates the Earth, plants, animals and most importantly (both for the sake of this topic and in the mind of God) humanity. By design, man is supposed to be ignorant. So, for a time, God is happy and has a source of praise. This is a rather mundane existence, however. As any child will tell you, the game is no fun if you know you're going to win. Sure, it's fun for a while, but in the long run, what the hell is the point? The game, in this case, is life, that is, the life of God. (If this concept seems strange to you, feel free to call it existence of God) In any case, God makes sure that there is temptation for man. It is no coincidence that Adam and Eve were forced to live near the one thing that is forbidden to them, the tree of knowledge. God wants his children not to have dominion over animals, which is completely different. Dominion would mean that humanity was the guardian of the animals, essentially taking care of them. With Noah, God specifically says that animals will fear man and provide food for mankind. Once again, this forces us to ask: Why didn't God do just this with Adam? Once again this does not indicate a plan on God's part, but rather his throwing things together on the fly. If God has a plan, it seems to have little regard for the well-being of humanity. A great example of this is the Tower of Babel, where God willingly acts to destroy man's clear progress. If God is not interested in the evolution of humanity, then it seems very clear to me that we should have as little to do with him as possible. It seems to be working so far.
