You were created without purpose and intention because Tiamat gets destroyed and she's the God that you know you come from. And then you read Genesis chapter one and it says, in the beginning, God creates the heavens and the earth. And he makes it good. And there's this idea that like that's countercultural in the idea that the Babylonians did not think that the world was good.

And that like at every – at the end of every refrain, it's good, it's good, it's good, it's good. And then it's very good at the end. And that humanity in particular is created in the image of God. Like that's a very – not just like kings, which a lot of ancient Near Eastern cultures believed that kings were created in the image of God, but that humanity in general is created in the image of God.

And this idea of the Imago Dei, that you're – that's why you're different. Like why are you different from all the animals? Because you're given something that exemplifies humanity. of a unique quality, and then the ancient Near Eastern cultures that believe that the planets are gods and that the sea is a god.

Genesis chapter one looks at that, and it subverts the expectations of the day in getting to this ultimate question of, why are we here? what are we supposed to do while we're here and how do we get out of here? And it says that, no, there's purpose, there's meaning, there's intention. And actually a lot of the things that you worship, it's pretty stupid because God created them.

So like even the Epic of Gilgamesh, the copy that we have that kind of is the final, if you go and you read a translation of the Epic of Gilgamesh, it's going to be the one from an Akkadian from the library of Ashurbanipal. But the earlier versions in Sumerian don't even have the flood story in them. Really? Yeah. And they're more pieced together.
