Genesis 1:31 "and God saw that it was Good"

[lemondiesel]

is it not natural for us to explain that which is good? (including personal) Is it not natural for us to be satisfied?

Perhaps this God may have taken the same gamble we all are presented in this life. We either put faith into the Good, or no faith at all. Because of scientific discoveries, we know the Earth wasn’t created in 7 days. Maybe this God took a gamble, created a certain amount of matter, and let them naturally by the laws of nature form a creation in His image?

Gambles feel so Good when they pay off.

“God saw that it was good…”

…for intelligent life, to whom He would give free will, that they may choose to love Him.

Catholics are not required to hold to a six day Creation, so this whole proposition is nonsensical.

Catholics are allowed to interpret Genesis either way.

Yeah since it seemed like God’s goal was conscious life “good” in the verse is more than God’s subjective sense of accomplishment.
