"...since Scripture tells us that everything He created is good."

Yeah, Genesis also tells us that prior to creating everything He was not sure it would turn out good.

"And God said, let there be light: and there was light."

"And God saw the light, that it was good."

Ie, He wasn't sure that it would be good?

The OT is just mythology, imo.

Really?

King David didn't exist?

There never was a Babylonian empire?

Bold claims.

Doesn't necessarily follow. God cannot be moved, so all attributions of human characteristics to God in Scripture are figurative.
