You asked

what difference does it make that creation is described as good?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Genesis 1:31

God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

This verse concludes the creation account in Genesis chapter 1, following God's creation of the heavens, earth, plants, animals, and humanity. It marks the culmination of the six days of creation.

How does recognizing the inherent 'goodness' of creation shape our interaction with the world around us?
