Western Religion worships The Long Term.
There was a past. There will be a future. And it's all connected.
The ante-diluvian period takes 13.8 Billion years. Presumably there is much more to say about it than a few chapters.
Yes, presumably there is.
But for the sake of the Abraham’s religion a few chapters will do.
Abraham’s Religion is future focused.
The few necessary things to recall about the ancient past can be fit into a few chapters.
As humans progress and come to require select bits of information regarding the epochs of maaseh bereishis they will uncover it or it will be revealed to them.
The generator at the soul of Abraham’s Religion is an absolute attachment.
The Future is where it's at.
The sense of pupose.
Where man becomes God.
And working together with an indescribable, incomprehensible, something neither your own nor beyond you, Abraham Takes Things Seriously.
You are, after all, god.
Or at least his son.
Unfortunately, being both god and man, is, well, a lot.
Eastern Faith wishes to return it all to God.
To obviate man.
I can not choose between them except to say The Fact That I Am is an indication that I am choosing The Religion of Abraham. The Dali Lama, also being alive, is an Abrahamist as well.
From the East come the gifts. The helpers. The happy spirits of surrender which Abraham bequeathed to the well-indulged delightful children born to him by his girl of happy scent.
