Metamorphoses (Creation)

Wow! This chapter was a very hard chapter to understand. I must admit that I didn't really grasp the entire chapter, and missed out on many important explanations or theories. Although I tried very hard to understan completely it was extremely challenging with all the latin and the english translation intertwined. As soon as i thought that I was picking up on the text, the latin came again and threw me off guard, but enough of that, this is what I actually understood:

The first theory that is being discussed is creation. Many theories are presented on the subject, they say that god created the earth, that he made the planet as a perfect, symmetrical ball with identical sides. After creating the earth, he created water in order to mix the earth which formed rivers and lakes, which would flow to the sea.

He grew out mountains and formed valleys. He created weather and temperature leading to snow, which eventually formed climate. He keeps going on about how he created everything and all that happens is a late caus of his actions.

I believe this was a very religious and biblical way to look at creation and didn't really take into account the scientifical P.O.V (point of view). In conclusion, I believe it is an interestin take on creation but the recording and telling of the story should be improved, I'm looing forward to more Metamorphoses.
