And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good.
See, I knew it! The earth is the land upon which we walk, and not the planet.
My question here though is why is God naming things again? Names are given to things to help with their identity. Who would need to know about these things other than God? Oh wait, that's right, he isn't alone, I almost forgot that in previous verses he was letting his plans be known, so there are clearly others that he would have to explain to, what his creations are.
Next up, why only name the water seas? What happened to the oceans, the lakes, the rivers, and the many other types of bodies of water that exist?
Now this keeps me baffled, that God has to see the end product to know that it is good. Sounds like someone who is clearly experimenting, and has no actual plan or goal.
