And when was man named? Or did he name himself? And did he name himself before he named 'God'?
Tell us your thoughts on this.
Why? Haven't you been on earth long enough?
Probably man had to be aware of himself before he even became aware of God. It couldn't have happen the other way round.
For Man to be aware of himself, he must differentiate himself, and then integrate himself into an ordered system.
This ordered system cannot exclude God. Therefore Man can only be aware of himself as he is being aware of God.
This is the only way 'primitive man' could form 'Society'. He had to mythologize.
Hence every tribe, or people's have a 'creation' story.
Early man in his attempt to order his society had to find a place for mythology to make sense of everything. Creation myths and gods were the only way they knew how to explain things. Thus the gods came after man knew who he was.
Ordering is mythologizing. To order first, then narrating after the ordering is logical and true.
Mythologizing, belongs to the Priest-King. Then he creates symbols, words, and expresses them to his people.
That is, the symbol, the word, is uttered to signify the reality of the myth.
