E. Ravago
“Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning Elohim formed the heavens and the earth,” establishes the two necessary components of any cognitive process. The heavens are the container for abstract thought, categories, and mental representations. The earth is the container for raw, unprocessed sensory input. The verse does not describe the origin of physical matter. It describes the formation of these two cognitive containers. Without the heavens, there is no place to hold the recreated images the mind generates. Without the earth, there is no source of the sensory information that feeds those images. The narrative places both at the very beginning because neither can be ordered without the other already in place.”
― E. Ravago, 10 Commandments: Opposing Unbiblical Claims

Pope John Paul II
“Those who devote themselves to the study of Sacred Scripture should always remember that the various hermeneutical approaches have their own philosophical underpinnings, which need to be carefully evaluated before they are applied to the sacred texts.”
― John Paul II, Fides et Ratio: On the Relationship Between Faith and Reason
