Can God rescue a soul from hell?

[Thief]

If God isn't in control then there's no hope for us i think.

for now....in this life.....
God gave Man dominion
which makes this life a bit chaotic

I do believe heaven is a place of greater disciplines

Regarding the two creation stories... Perhaps the author was trying to answer the age old philosophical question as to which came first, the chicken or the egg. Genesis 1 portrayed a chicken first creation, Genesis 2 portrayed an egg first creation. In my opinion the author wasn't favoring either possibility but rather suggesting however it happened that God was responsible.

It's not two stories of creation.....

Day Six.....Man as a species
Day Seven.....rest, and no more will be created
THEN Chapter Two......a story of choosing and manipulation
