The Connection
Marduk is a late-arriving supreme god who reorganizes everything. He defeats chaos, creates order, assigns roles. Adam arrives on Urantia as the supreme biologic administrator meant to reorganize the racial and civilizational landscape. The Shamash parallel adds the dimension of justice and radiance.
