Well, this was supposed to have been posted yesterday, but I had a lot going on, so instead, I'm posting it today. I know that's not ideal, but I guess better late than never.
During class yesterday, when we talked about how God had given people the power of language, I found it to be a very moving idea. It occurred to me that just as God spoke the words of creation and brought things to life and being in Genesis, humans were the only one of God's creations to be given the ability to create through language and bring things to being with it.
Although I don't actually remember who, if anyone, said this, it says in my notes that some people have an issue with the inconsistency of God's behavior in Genesis. I guess it is true that in Genesis I, God is all-powerful and mighty, creating the world just by speaking words, and in Genesis II, God is more intimate, interacting with people on a smaller scale. But I think that God has a personal connection with people in Genesis I as well. As I said before, God gave people His infinite creative power and the ability to bring things to "life" through language.
