Creation Lesson for October 7, 1956

IT IS one of the tragedies of Christian history that the first book of the Bible, as well as the last, has been fought over, bitterly, from generation to generation. In spite of all the quarrels, however (and there seems to be no hope of

all Christians agree here), there are certain great truths in this magnificent prose-poem with which the Bible begins, which are agreed on by all Christians. Let us pick out three of these.

ww 1 ■ Dr. Foreman

“In the Bifinninc, God—” The first truth is that this vast universe did not merely happen. It was intended. It is intended. God (so to apeak) invented it. Why should anything be? is a thought that has occurred to countless people. Why is there something instead of nothing, anything at ail instead of nothing? Is it just a happen-so? Did the universe make itself, as it were, like a dust-storm building up in the desert or an icicle dripping itself longer day by day? Was there some blind Necessity at the beginning of all things? Or maybe did the earth and all the universe exist forever without any beginning? Not at all. That the universe is here at all is because of God who planned it and brought it into’ being. How long ago this started, or how many changes have taken place since the first instant of time, makes no difference with the main point: namely that the universe does not explain itself, did not cause itself, but is what it is and as it is because God willed it. Furthermore, if God created it, including ourselves, he had a reason. We cannot conceive of God working blindly or at random or for no reason. Order and Law The more men study the universe, whether the great and immeasurable universe around us. in which pur sun is no more than a mediocre star nowhere near the center of things, or the marvelous tiny universe discovered by the miscroscope—the more men study all this the more they discover that it is a universe of law. If the sun rises at all tomorrow, astronomers know precisely when it will rise". They can know it years beforehand. Men used to be surprised by eclipses. Now we can calculate the time of every eclipse that will take place, or that has taken place since before the time of man. Even that most unpredictable of things, the wind, can be forecast better than once it could. Men once had to take hurricanes as they came. Now they can be warned of them and their tracks are mostly known. Man in discovering such things is simply “thinking God’s thoughts after him.” As one astronomer remarked, the universe seems more like a great Thought than a great Machine. In these universal laws, in their regularity and dependability, we can read the will of God. This does not mean that we understand everything—far from it. Mystery surrounds us still. But no science at all would be possible if we could not count on a world that “makes sense” from the smallest atom to the mightiest star. God Created No Evil The story-poem of Creation in Genesis ends with the joyful note —God saw all he had made, and it was very good. If anything God has created seems bad, it is either because we do not know how to use it, or we have barged in where we do not belong, or because we ourselves have made it bad. St. Thomas Aquinas once compared this world to a tool-shop full of well-sharpened tools. It is hot safe to turn a child or-lunatic loose in there; but a master-workman will not get hurt. So as men are learning about the universe they are finding out how to use the materials that the Creator has set at our disposal. But much that is evil in the world is of our own making. Most dust storms, for example, are made by man’s greed and stupidity to begin with, in digging up soil that was never meant for cultivation. The whole race of man now stands in terror of death, for though we have discovered how to harness the power in the atompower our fathers knew was there but had no idea how tt> reach—we have' put more effective thought Into using it for destruction than for man’s help. But aH man’s misuses of God’s creation must not make us forget that when God first looked it over, he saw that it was good. wdrship with us. After noon speaker will be Rev. Joy Arthur, Alexandria Ct.
