On Theodicy

On Theodicy: "And God said, Let there be light and there was light." most interpret this as God drawing light out of nothing but what if light existed all along, it just didn't know it was light. What if the world already existed and God just came along to sort things out, Logos creating by naming. The idea that we are merely being delineated via his blueprint from original chaos, from the deep waters, implies the possibility of progress, we might, later on, be reordered into better and better shapes.
