Genesis 1.1 v. Horatio Alger

In the pagan cosmogonies, the gods exemplify a “rags to riches” story where they arise from the chaos and tame it.  In the Biblical account of creation, God never has to accomplish or acheive any such dominion.  He starts with power and authority and then proceeds to be generous and share it with others.
