I think that doaism has some interesting concepts and whoever the true writer was happened upon some truths of the universe. However I think that it is missing some pieces which the Bible fills in as the word of God. The passages you read are pointing to the mystery of God who is beyond our ability to understand completely. Thomas Aquinas a Christian philosopher explained in his writing how the Bible is the best explanation for the universe. Since stuff cannot come from nothing there must have been something at the beginning that is eternal. This is God. The universe must have come from a personal and intelligent God not just a chaos machine because a pure chaos world wouldn't look like ours in which math, science, and medicine are possible. Most importantly is the good news that eternal life is a gift from God offered to all so long as we invite Jesus into our hearts. Everything is most meaningful if it echoes in eternity and so if we become one with an eternal being then our lives become meaningful. Let me know if you want to discuss this further! Happy to chat!
