Chaos’ pre-existence before Divine creation 3⁄4 dramatic discourse that also echoes Babylon’s Enuma Elish53 3⁄4 insinuates a constant, past duration, an eternal pre-existence, anterior to God’s Word commanding Light and all things into coming into being (Gen. 1:3). Given that in Genesis 1:2 narrative, the “waters” and “chaos” pre-exist creation, we must ask, whose Spirit created these?
Would an omnibenevolent God have created this chasm or void, this formlessness or anti-matter and black holes? How did the formless come to pre-exist before He did, if He is omnipotent, and the Most Benevolent Supreme Creator of all things? As Creator, could He also have created nothingness and formlessness, let’s say, in an irrational spell, and then have changed His mind, in a rational spell, these, all-too-human ways, indeed, and give form to all things in His (their) Divine Image(s) made? And what shall we make of it? For how divine is our own image really? How divine our cruelty, our terror, our dark shadows and wanton dreams? Beings, capable of all things to subsist, to kill father, or mother, or kin, capable also to dream and imagine and create wondrous things and be, all these things, so infinite in themselves, so mysterious, so inhumane and so humane. So vast, so infinitely vast, says Heraclitus, is the mystery of our souls that it shall be forever unbeknown to us — so vast its depths are.
53 There is not the slightest hint that God is bound or conditioned by chaos in the Babylonian Enuma Elish, which portrays the birth of the gods of the waters of chaos. Curiously, the Babylonian myth of Atrahasis has the Gods sacrificing one of their own to create humans, to endow them with his divine intelligence.
