Can you find the mistake in this mythological story?

Question

God doubted his own existence and wanted to see himself, so he decided to create water to reflect his image. He created water and looked upon it, but he did not see anything. He said to water, ‘’Water, I’ve created you for the purpose of reflecting my image, don’t you know your purpose?’’ Water said it needs dust to reflect his image. Then he created dust and threw it into water. He looked at the water and did not see anything, so he said, ‘’Dust, I’ve created you for the purpose of combining with water and reflect my image, don’t you know your purpose? The dust said it’s not to be seen without light. So God created light and looked at the water, he still didn’t see anything, then he said, ‘’Light, I have created you for the purpose of shining upon water and dust to reflect my image,

don’t you know your purpose? The light said, it does not exist without darkness. God then created darkness in order to see himself. The light glared in darkness and shined upon the water and dust. God looked over the water only to see the light seems more glorious and brighter than his own image. He got furious and punished the water, the dust, the light and darkness. He took light’s tongue, water’s taste, dust’s ears and darkness’s eyes. Then he abandoned them in eternity. Universe was created.

The water, the dust, the light and the darkness blamed each other for the dreadful punishment. Something precious has been taken away from each and one of them, and they have to exist in eternity with never being complete again.

The only way for these four to be complete was to sacrifice their freedom and condemn themselves to each other, and freeing themselves will always mean being incomplete in eternal punishment. So they did, God’s punishment bound the four together and started to exist but only together.

They never heard from God again, but God’s vague reflecting was left with them. Men were created from god’s own image.

Men have reminded the universe of the first judgement; universe has reminded men their misplacement. Water drowned, dust trembled and crushed, light burnt and darkness swallowed men for centuries. Men stroked back; burnt the forests, tainted the oceans, and crushed the light and the darkness. So the unspoken but deafening battle kept on going between the abandoned brothers.

Answer 1

Other than it doesnt appear to be finished, I dont see the mistake...


OOPS... my bad, now you have finished. Well light does exist even without darkness... Darkness is the absence of light, light is not the absence of darkness

Answer 2

Don't the mythological gods have names?
Also, was the dust "land"?
And how exactly did man come to be created in this story?
How did light come to be created before darkness?
If you know the answer and this is a riddle, I want the answer.
If not and you're trying to figure it out yourself, I would go with the darkness/lightness question.
It's an unclear story, but that happens a lot in mythology.

Answer 3

He is God, He should have just created a mirror to see His image. That's what's wrong with the story.

Answer 4

The mistake is that if God is both A) doubting his own existence and B) getting bossed around and corrected by his own creations, he obviously isn't God.

God is by nature infalliable.

Answer 5

The biggest mistake: God would already know the answers.

Answer 6

Why would God doubt His own existance?

Answer 7

better than the bible but it still has a god. like the biblical god, yours is also vain.

Answer 8

Holy crap. I'll never get those 3 minutes of my life back...

Answer 9

It is not a mistake that god cannot be perceived. He is not there.

Answer 10

nope, can't see a point to it either.
