> There is nothing new under the sun.  (Ecclesiastes)

So look where all is not vanity, over the sun,  to God.

But but but before & after the over the rainbow, and Noah, there and then,
Man too is a creator not unlike his God, who created him and made him in his
own image, a creator as well.

The elemental, unchanged-changer, the creator of all, the God of Genesis,
makes Man a creative being, a homo-maker, a homo-faber. That He should
admonish the author of Ecclesiastes against the creation is Queer indeed!
