I have often wondered about the origin of TOFU. I have noticed that it is
rather "formless and void" and I have noticed that you can use it to create
turkeys, etc, but I never thought of the KOSMOS being made of TOFU before.
Interesting theory.
"bereshit" on the other hand, can be called "void" but does it make a very
good turkey? No. Not at all.
So, maybe we really are dealing with a large, jiggling, glob of TOFU in Gen
1?
