Based on your use of "In the beginning", I'm prone to think you identify as Christian. Let's see how well you understand Christ's teachings and how much cognitive dissonance you harbor. Can you explain why Christ directed the disciples to embody the wisdom of serpents and the peacefulness of doves, and, if so, can you make that make sense in a way that makes sense of the serpent's presence in the garden? Can you make sense of the both of them in ways that are consistent with every other tradition's reverence paid to serpent symbolism? Can you explain why the baptism of the Holy Spirit was "fiery"? Can you explain Genesis 1 in a way that doesn't require wild speculations and instead is founded in science and the Golden Rule? Can you explain why there are differences in Matthew and Mark's recordings of Christ's final words and what language Christ was speaking at the end that no one in the Levant would have known? Can you explain how baptism itself is an Egyptian word or how "the baptism of the Holy Spirit" is redundant? Can you explain halos? Can you explain what an "angel" is? Can you explain how, instead of exploring, attempting to understand, and steel man the perspectives of your neighbors, how combatively othering anyone who doesn't toe the line of your preferred dogma is evil and an enemy is inconsistent with the idea of loving your neighbor as yourself? Can you please justify "holy war"? Can you please justify the notion of "canonical" in juxtaposition with the notion of "fiat", given that they both essentially mean "because 'we' said so"?
