Just for the record, some notes I wrote while waiting in a hosptial (I used a form headed "Integrated Notes for Nursing, Medical and Allied Health Staff"...so my notes throw that into a risible spin!)
Paganism and invented stories of creation.
Interpolation of factors between creator and creation = creator's information about creation has no meaning within that creation; it corresponds to no actual relational or intercausal set that is ontologically concordant with the parameters of the creation as accounted for in Gen 1.
Theistic evolution, etc. put an unknown (unstated in scripture) principle between God and his creation and set his account to non-correspondence with the world we are in, and in which terms it is itself set.
Pagan = a hidden mystery behind appearances: the creation account becomes an 'appearance' not negated by being recounted by another. [I think I knew what I meant when I jotted that down...]
The creation account tells us that there is no second order reality to which we need to refer to understand the reality it presents in concord with the one we experience, relate to and are contained by.
No platonic 'forms' or 'evolution' principle; e.g. creatures reproduce after their kind, not some other kind.
Paganism is the quest fo a hidden second order or inversely a primary locus of meaning that gives sense to the intercausal set of the real world. Creation account tells us there is not a hidden second order, but that the only players in this game are creator and creatures.

Music
Mark Pentecost of Anglicare runs a music program for Anglicare residents using acapella ensembles. He explained this on TV that it touches the deepest parts of the psyche, important for people with dementia, becuase it harks back to a time before there were musical instruments.
This refers possibly to a narrow slice of early history, because we read in Genesis 4:21 of "Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe."
There in the fourth generation of humanity two musical instruments were known! OK, so the previous three generations just hummed, but I wouldn't think that acapella has a greater musical connection with us than a brass band. Its just that most Anglicans have shelved the early history of God's creation and have absorbed and therefore defer to the world-starts-with-material game.
