Aha. God was so powerful that he created the Universe in the Big Bang, yet He also created Satan? When He could have chosen not to create Satan? And yet Satan is very powerful and the final outcome of Armageddon has to await 1000 years (a blip on the 13 billion years since the big bang). And all this 'understanding' started with a snake suddenly moved to start speaking in a language known to Eve? And all this became important before Adam's first argument (in some language) with Eve over 'what's for dinner'?
In searching for the origins of logic, Genesis is hardly the first place to look! Credit to the Greeks.
If we could accept the notion that the Big Bang happened on say for the sake of reference, January 1, 13 billion 6 thousand years ago.....
I cannot help myself wondering just what the New Year's Eve party was like on 31 December 13,000,006,001 BC! I suppose that nobody showed up, but if they knew then what we know now, it might have been a serious hoot.
Sorry, I'm stupid, but my solar powered calculator stopped doing scientific notation calculations for me earlier this week. That was right after one of those Thermodynamics Law thingys stopped supporting my perpetual motion calculator keyboard.
