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 (Sun, Moon, stars) and attached them to the day/night cycle(“rule over the day and over the night”).
- - There was light without a source for it (Sun, stars).
- - There may have been “day and night” without the rotation of the earth.*
- - 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 [goes to] Soul?
- - Idea [goes to] Thought?
- - Feeling [goes to] Thought?
*Was all the light, after the division, on one side of the Earth, and the darkness on the other? Then the earth rotated to achieve day and night? Was day and night achieved some other way?
