Our Christian theological "big picture" says God made a GOOD world, but we sinned and now God/we must fix it.
But the pattern of Genesis 1 actually says something different:
It was dark, but God made it light.
First Evening, and then Morning.
The land was barren, but then plants emerged.
Genesis is giving us a story about the human condition, and it's giving us a message of hope: God will bring us through it.
