Ancient ruins show various building structures with pillars supporting top edifices. People thought that the earth is flat and from religious point of view it sits on pillars. This notion spawned all sorts of fantasies about the planet we call Earth. But what is the earth? Did it assemble itself from cosmic debris and gases? At which point gravity and fire made the round planet? Something already was in the cosmos to make something else from these building blocks. When we refer to the structure of human DNA we see creation.
Like a potter and the potter’s wheel, the designer has a thought and an image in his mind, which he attempts to form with his hands. He keeps spinning the wheel applying pressure to a blob of clay. He adds more water to soften it, or less in order to render it more stable until he is pleased with the outcome. But in the process the potter smashes the formless blob because he has a better idea. So he rebuilds and recreates, but from the same lump of clay. The evidence goes in this direction.
Whoever created all things in existence kept improving, or toyed with things.
God could not commune with dinosaurs so he let them go. He could not speak with monkeys so he made them amusing. He painted the Zebra and watched the Cheetah hunt. All this is quite entertaining, but he still could not talk with them. Potter kept spinning His wheel and waited. Some creatures evolved from the original lump and started to reason and even talk. Nevertheless, God could not fellowship with them. He grew impatient so he halted the spinning wheel. The old lump of clay fell off.
The creator went to find material from which he decided to make something brand new. “If I could breathe my life into this new lump and give it its own will; perhaps this lump would start talking and thanking me for being so beautifully and wondrously made? Perhaps this creation would draw back to its creator and so I can fellowship with it?” He thought. Finally he made Adam and taught him how to choose, to know the "no" and the "yes" that death is bad and not wanted; and that life is good and most desired. He gently nudged him even some more, for only in his choices he would draw back to that which is good.
Time elapsed, and the desire for companionship grew. God called His creatures sons. Some understood, but others not. Some drew back to the potter and even jumped on his wheel. Oh what a joy that was. As he whizzed the dancer on the potter’s wheel, celestial atoms started to spin. A burst of light, the maker’s passion was aroused with great delight he took his son. The wheel was empty and turned no more. Potter rested from his toils and so did Enoch who walked, ran even danced with God.
