Episode notes
Genesis Pattern
- Genesis reveals a pattern of chaos, separation, and joining.
- This pattern results in shalom, a larger, better whole celebrating diversity.
Intelligible Creation
- Creation is inherently intelligible, with parts having properties enabling relationships.
- These relationships form larger wholes, creating a structure from atoms to galaxies.
Human Development
- Human development mirrors Genesis: from a single cell (chaos) to differentiation.
- Neural integration and pruning enable learning and create shalom.
