Creator and Creation
... One of these patterns, perhaps the strongest, pertains to the relationship between offspring and creator. ... The latter is between God and His creation, man. ... As the people in the first six chapters of Genesis psychologically progress, they also diverge from the Lord until finally, God destroys His creation (man) and preserves only the few who have remained by His side. ... The relationship between the metaphysical Creator, God, and His creation, man, is one that parallels, in many ways, the mortal equivalent. ... As God’s offspring evolves into a creature that’s becoming more like his Father, man, at the same time, starts to separate himself further and further from his Creator.
