Double Goods in the Creation Story
The speaker reflects on the creation story from the Bible, pointing out the concept of 'double goods' on day three to make up for no good on day two. On day one, God pronounces light and darkness good. Day two involves separating waters, without any 'good' being mentioned. Day three sees the waters recede, land emerge, vegetation grow, and God pronouncing it twice as good. The speaker suggests that day three receives double good because it provides what is needed for humanity - land and food - unlike day two which lacks a net gain for humans. The creation story has a total of seven 'goods' mentioned, with the waters being separated to create a single horizon and sky.
