Water is often depicted as a source of life, purification, and renewal, reflecting its vital role in sustaining all living things.
Global Examples:
Ancient Greece: The myth of the primordial ocean, Oceanus, and the life-giving properties of water are prominent.
Hinduism: Water is considered sacred and is associated with creation, with deities like Vishnu often depicted reclining on the cosmic waters.
Judaism:
The concept of "living water" (mayim chaim) is central to Jewish rituals and symbolizes purification and spiritual connection.
Buddhism: Water symbolizes purity, clarity, and the cleansing of the mind, aligning with the Buddhist emphasis on purification and enlightenment.
Babylonian Mythology: Ishtar's descent to the underworld to retrieve Tammuz and her sprinkling with the Water of Life is a story of renewal and resurrection.
This widespread motif underscores the deep-seated human understanding of water's fundamental role in the origin and continuation of life.
Did any of that says "EVERY living thing created from water"? None at all.
So, a broken clock that tells the time accurately every time is indeed a miracle.
