The essential point here is that there is a tension between the
objective view of science and the subjective view of religion. This
reflects a real conflict between G-d and Hyle, or matter personified.
There are real conflicts in the Godhead, between the sexual polarities
of G-d and between the whole idea of G-d vs. matter. These conflicts
drove HaShem to madness, and the old testament is the record of His
struggle with that madness. The new testament aims at a better
resolution of the opposites, in part by accepting the notion of a
fully Androgynous G-D.
