Questions, questions, questions. My mind has overflooded.

Among all the things mentioned in Genesis Chapter 1, there are two things that are odd from the others. The darkness and water which were first mentioned in line 2. These two are the only things that God hasn’t created by himself. They are the only subsistence that existed when God was still a “Spirit of God” as said in Gen. 1 line 2. Later on in the chapter, God is trying to conquer or rather control the darkness and water with his creations, “…and God divided the light from the darkness.” (Gen. 1 line 4), “And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness” (Gen 1. line 18), “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” (Gen.1 line 6) But I ended up asking myself, why was darkness and water the chosen ones to be the existence that God hasn’t created? Why didn’t the author of the bible say God also created darkness and water? The only possible answer I could come up with was because he feared it. Because men, or the humans, fear for the things we can’t see, for things we can’t even have the feeling that we are “controlling” them.

Now that we have a guess on why darkness and water have existed before God, one of our next questions is why were we, I mean by humans, created last? Is it because God wanted to prepare the perfect stage for our show time? Genesis Chapter 1 says we were the only creatures made out from God’s taste or likeness. It says that we were born to conquer the world God has made. However, LORD God doesn’t want Adams to gain the knowledge of good and evil. Does this mean he wants us to “subdue” the world he made without knowing what is good and evil? What is the purpose of doing so? Just to see a evolution? A unknown development? I think that there is not enough information to jump into conclusions, so I would wait and see what will come out in the next several chapters.
