Atomism, Genesis 1, Preamble

Gutenberg's invention facilitates the propagation of the central document in a theology of Salvation.  The Salvation is of the individual human Soul, from a curse placed on the human species.  In other words, that theological doctrine articulates a triumph of Atomism over Organicism.  But it does so by abstracting from a more fundamental moment of conflict that lies at the root of its source material.  Genesis 1 offers a cosmogony of the human species that pleases its creator. Nevertheless, as if those events had never even transpired, Genesis 2-3 presents an alternative cosmogony, one upon which that Atomist theology is founded.  The two significant points of conflict between the two passages are: in the first, a couple other than Adam and Eve are the first humans, and, their reproductive activity is blessed, which completely undermines the premise of the need for Salvation in the theology that is based on the second.  In other words, like the Preamble to the U. S. Constitution, Genesis 1 presents a generally neglected formidable challenge to the Atomism that is traditionally associated with adjacent texts.
