Thanks Denis for this feedback. I agree that it may have been better
to say that God chose to intervene, but I also think it was necessary.
I do not think this reflects any flaw in the original creation, just
that it was originally "without form and void" (Gn 1:2) and needed
God's intervention to fulfil its planned potential.
God bless.
