Santa Clause?

The words were not spells and do nothing on their own. If they would, you could also do the same by saying the words.
We went over that. It is not the words alone.
But the Bible authors obviously seemed compelled to state that El used words to create light. That is the method they used together with being a creator deity. The bible authors therefore believed in magic.
If you don't because you don't take the Bible literally (good on you) you still have to explain other biblical magic (if you do believe in magic/miracles). Most importantly, what is your position on Jesus' resurrection? Miracle/magic or natural explanation?
