“… when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no one to till the ground; but a stream would rise from the earth, and water the whole face of the ground— Out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food” Genesis 2:5, 6, 9
What can we learn from the way the Earth produces and sustains life?
The story in Genesis understands that it is God who enables the soil to become life sustaining. Today scientists continue to explore and discover how the earth and plant life are interconnected in a symbiotic relationship that begins with the soil. Physiologically active compounds produced by soil organisms and plants work to promote plant development, immunity and growth via reciprocal signal emissions. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0929139317311290
Good – successful – outcomes depend upon cooperation and communication. This holds true for both soil organisms and humans.
