Chapter 17: The Lord World of Genesis One

What kind of theological implications are there for interpreting Genesis 1 as the author did? Few things stand out. But before that for the sake of clarity., it must be reiterated that whatever duration God takes or whatever form he uses to make the world, God is the author. This chapter is titled ' Resulting Theology in This View of Genesis 1 is Stronger, Not Weaker'. Being so it argues for few theological implications.

That the world is not really natural; it is rather sacred. It is the dwelling place of the divine one. The world is not divine nor is it natural. Since it is not divine, it is not to be worshipped. And since it is not natural, it is not to be exploited. Humans are rather stewards.
