a or an before it

0Hi,02br
02br
00I think I saw phrases like "a great God" or "building a Garden of Eden." Many people and I know (I hope) that "God" and "Garden of Eden" are special and putting "a" or "an" doesn't seem right. I do ,however, have to admit that the action described has some functional uses in a person's writing situations in this world.02br

00Of course, there is some a general usage of it like when you out "a" or "an" before a person's name and I believe that is done to distinguish between two people with the same name or among three or more people with the same name. 0-
