I'd like to take a step back now and say that maybe rushing to deny the importance of the Hebrew scripture isn't a fair move. Maybe one can relate the books of Genesis (man is granted earth as his dominion for full exploitation) and Ecclesiastes (no matter how much I accumulate and exploit, it is all for naught and I must seek still more) to the insatiable, striving Will and the unceasing interplay of stability/instability of random physical manifestations. It is something to consider, in my mind.
