By looking at Genesis one I wonder if we can make an observation: All things that appear to have a cause and effect may not have, or may not always have had, a cause/effect relationship. God first made the light, then he divided it from the darkness, then he named the darkness “night” and the light “day”. Then the evening and the morning were the first day. It was after that (three days later, on the forth day) that God created the lights and attached them to the day/night cycle (“rule over the day and over the night”).
– There was light without a “source” for it (i.e the sun, stars)
– There way have been “day and night” without the rotation of the earth (i.e. since there was yet no Sun and stars there was no need for the earth to rotate on it's axis, nor was there a need for the earth to revolve about the sun).
– Things may become associated into cause and effect after they both are brought into existence (there was light, then there were sources for the light, then the sources were made to rule over the light).
– Might there be other things that seem to be in a cause and effect relationship which really may not be that way?
– Were other energies made before the sources for them came into being?
– Is it natural for us, in a human sense, to create “energies” before we create the “sources?
– Spirit ---> Soul?
– Idea ---> Thought?
– Feeling ---> Thought?
