I think one of the most fascinating things about Genesis is the fact that the Earth was already there when Yahweh started to create things.

But that begs the question. Who created the Earth in its chaos state before Yahweh got involved?

Do we have anything that might point to what God created the Earth that Yahweh had to come fix in Genesis? Would it be the chief Canaanite God El Elyon?

I really am curious if symbolic cannibalism that Christians practice today where they pretend to drink the blood of Jesus and eat his flesh can be found in any earlier traditions or possibly religions where they might have borrowed it from.

Is this a new thing or is this something borrowed?
