I posit that the Bible’s evolution is a simplistic attempt at tackling chaos and entropy:
* The OT conjures up an ultimate Maxwell’s demon of sorts that is attempting to coral chaos and entropy by inadvertently introducing more chaos and entropy into the system (predictable as the “designers” of this demiurge barely understood the difference between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun, never mind the human mind or more abstract concepts like chaos and entropy).
* The NT conjures up a smarter assistant to Maxwell’s demon that merely promises to do away with chaos and entropy at an indeterminate future time (anywhere from within a generation or two for his most supporters to “never” for the few skeptics).
