"the variety in God's creation emphasizes God's creativity as an artist. Genesis gives us several examples of this.

"God made 'day and night.' this sounds like a binary, similar to 'male and female,' right?

"that isn't quite all we experience in 24 hours. sunrises and sunsets do not fit into the binary of day or night. yet God paints the skies with these too.

[...]

"God also said 'Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.'

"that isn't the full story, either. consider marshes, swamps, bogs, and fens. not fully land, not fully waters. there is such glorious variety in God's creation.

[...]

"does all this variety invalidate God as creator? of course not!

[...] "we see the author in Genesis give examples of the extremes that God creates. It doesn't exclude the possibility of more.

"and so we worship the God of more. The God of the marsh, the penguin, the God of the sunrise, the cloud, the supernovae. The God of the nonbinary."
