Favourite Genesis

It would.
But Genesis were $hyt3 with or without Gabriel!
😉
I was into "YES" in the 70s ... pretentious crap but I loved it.
Close to the Edge is still an ear-worm for me.

Funny, I prefer ELP to Yes.

No need.

Bye

Come on, don't be like that, we're not all like that.

I'm glad to finally see more posters here, tbh.

The lesson that man has a humble beginning, that he is not as "perfect" as some may think. That we are made in God's image, but that we are still far from God.

Humble beginning, how do you read that into it?

I read in Genesis that man had a glorious beginning, created in the very image of God, but fell from grace.

I know a fireman who looks after the fire.

I should have said that line is from 'The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man' by Genesis with Peter Gabriel. Seemed vaguely relevant to the OP.

Loved Close to the Edge and in fact all of Yessongs but can't find lyrics there that can be linked to.. well.. anything really. Great music, weird metaphor.

Which would you suppose is more "humble": being made of dust, or being made of gold (or maybe "glory" as you put it)?

What lesson do you find in the Biblical claim that a man was created from dust into God’s image?

When I was growing up there was a song frequently played on the radio called 'My Old Man's A Dustman.' Now I know what they were singing about.

(Sorry...)

Being designed and made in God’s own image of course. Not sure why you are on about “gold”.

How is being created and brought to life by God himself a “humble” beginning?

I love how you repeatedly accuse me of that and then proceed yourself to answer for others.

DG showing his hypocrisy twice already today. Oh my.

Which story do like best? One or two?
Or neither.

(Is there a third I don't know about?)

One stupid question that I get from a coworker is who created God?

God is eternal no one created Him.

Wary of asking you another stupid question:

How do you know? (Apart from reading it in a book).

I thought Peter Gabriel was much better solo.

'Mercy Street' is one of my favourites of his. I think it's called that, on the 'Red Rain' album.

One stupid question I get from theists is who created the Universe?

The Universe is eternal no one created it.

They are the two accounts given which you are referring to.

I asked what the two perspectives are that you referred to.
An account is not a perspective.
