Seeing exquisitely evolved human nature in A&E is easy, but I refuse to see condemnation of it, of us. That anything is our fault, our original sin, or Anyone else’s. Jesus saw otherwise it seems. What is most interesting is the evolution of God, compared with His C10th-6th BCE peers. He really was the best projection of our then idealized selves, the better angels of our nature, unlike any others I am aware of; the ‘gods’. Is that explicable by Jewish experience especially culminating in the Persian Exile? Like abiogenesis, if there is no God, then it has to be. Which makes it all the more remarkable, like abiogenesis.
Jesus saw otherwise; the evolution of God continued in Him with the greatest punctuation of the equilibrium: But of course A&E is also the creation myth (the once upon a time?) in Jesus’ enculturation, which He humanly appears to have totally bought in to (unless He was very layered indeed) to the point of fulfilling its protevangelium in His faithful submission to Penal Substitutionary Atonement. The greatest culture shock, the meteorite of Daniel 2, we’re still talking about in the struggle to fill and rise above the world.
