If you cherry pick certain parts, then sure you can somehow get the words to mean that (given the scriptures can be interpreted as virtually anything, hence the few thousand christian denominations).
But leaving the scriptures aside for a bit, what is your definition of "life" and "sentience"? Because based on our current definition of "life", the universe cannot be termed as a living sentient being. Moreover, even if you stretch your imagination to define it as a macro being, it doesn't match the image of god presented in any of the largest known religions.
The ENTIRE book supports the "Universe is gawd" part both Old and New Testaments and literally HUNDREDS of other religious texts from around the world throughout time.
the quotes I gave are EXAMPLES.
Life = EXISTENCE
Sentience = KNOWLEDGE OF EXISTENCE
And if YOU stretch YOUR imagination and define It as a Macro being then it does not fit YOUR INTERPRETATIONS based on HEARSAY of the largest known religions.
I am saying READ their books... It MATCHES PERFECTLY. LOLOLOL!
REALLY !!!! LOL SO OBVIOUS HOW DO YOU NOT SEE? LOL!
