In creating the world, G-d moved from nothing to something. In the new world of Noah after the flood, the creation responded by moving from something to nothing.

Circumcision
Is it possible that the act of circumcision is to also express a distinction between man and animal whereas, the animal is born and remains in the form and likeness of his birth but, a circumcised man is now in a state of distinction, that this act acknowledges to the world, that he recognizes that he is not an animal and therefore, has a higher calling a responsibility to the world? I am stating my question simplistically because of this format. This thought opens up many other considerations, that would be too lenghty for this comment board.
