In ancient Egypt, for example, gods included the Nile River, the frog, sun, wind, gazelle, bull, cow, serpent, moon and crocodile. Then came Genesis, which announced that a supernatural God, i.e., a god who existed outside of nature, created nature. Nothing about nature was divine.

Then came Genesis? I do believe Genesis came before the Egyptians.

The creation of the world came before Man. What I believe Dennis is referring to is that, prior to the Revelation At Sinai, ancient peoples like the Egyptians and the Sumerians believed man was subject to the caprice of fickle nature. The Jews on the other hand, believed man was subject to God who ruled over nature. From that was derived the idea man was the master of nature. With that single discovery, human civilization took a quantum leap forward and the world has never been the same since that time.
