This idea of the Spirit of God descending upon the chaotic waters.
People ask, well, there was no water at the beginning.
None of this makes sense.
It's like, you just don't know what you're talking about.
You have no idea what constitutes a metaphor.
What exists, this potential that exists at the beginning of everything isn't...
Water?
It's just that water's a useful metaphor.
Well, why?
You can draw things up from the water.
The water is unknown.
The water is dark, and it's deep, and it's mysterious, and it's bountiful.
You can drown in the water.
You can sail on the water.
The water is the necessity of life.
Use some imagination, like the poets do.
When Christ is baptized by John the Baptist, the Spirit descends upon him.
What does that mean?
Next slide, please.
Oh, I'll tell you about this first.
