I seem to have reached a few paragraphs in on "Sola Scriptura: In The Vanity Of Their Minds", when I seemed to sense such a great divide between (a) the God/human experience apparently depicted by that portion of the essay and (b) the God/human experience apparently depicted by Genesis 1-2.

To me, Genesis 1-2 seems intended to state, "Here is God's design for the human experience, where we were", including an apparently near-postscript in Genesis 2:25 that seems reasonably suggested to segue to Genesis 3's apparent statement, "Here's how we arrived at the adverse condition of the human experience where we are". To me, that initial human experience model consists of six concepts: God is in charge, enjoy, here's your and everything else's menu, "tend" to the garden, don't touch that tree, and here's your mate. To me, any God/human relationship concept beyond that seems reasonably considered a result of eventuality somewhat similar to Exodus 18, and that might have been initiated by other eventuality somewhat similar to Genesis 3.
