“The Babylonians believed that all was originally a watery chaos. The Hindus said that Brahma created the waters first. ‘He thought I will let worlds issue from me: and he let them issue; Water, Light, Perishable Matter, and the Waters [heavens]. Water was above the heaven which carries it. The circle of the air encloses the light, the earth contains the perishable, and in the deep are the waters.’ In the Cosmogony in Manu, ‘He, the Invisible, the Unfolded, the Eternal the Soul of all beings, the Inconceivable; streamed forth in light. He first created the waters.’ In Genesis, the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters.”
