In the Beginning.....
I'm not telling what really happened. Your brain is not big enough to comprehend it. Maybe I did it in 7 days, maybe I took 7 million years. Maybe you were created in my own image, maybe you're a monkey's uncle. Perhaps your ancestors crawled out of the sea or flew in on a spaceship. Does it really make a difference?
Is your faith going to fall away if you find out that what you believed all along about creation is wrong? Will you treat your neighbor any different? Will you be kinder and gentler or rude and harsh?
Many of you who think you were made in my image have found it an excuse to dominate others and the world I created. You have created wars because you thought you were my chosen. You have torn my creation apart and polluted it because you thought I made it just for your use.
On the other hand, some of you who believe that you were created in a scientific evolutionary process see the world as soul-less. You have taken away hope and faith. You have excused the misuse of my world as necessary for scientific investigation and have cruelly experimented on lost souls because you felt they had no other use.
So what am I to do? With either theory, you find a way to be cruel. You find an excuse to hurt. You think small, yet I am big. You can think only inside the box, but I stood outside and created the box and I know there is a huge universe out there!
I know that with the knowledge to make the atomic bomb, you have also made medicines. You kill and then you heal. You are slowly learning that with knowledge comes responsibility. This is true with spiritual knowledge as well. Until the day comes that you can find excuses to be kind, and reasons to be gentle, I will leave you to wonder. When you no longer use your association with me as a reason to get on your soap box, but to feed your fellow human and care for my creation, I will reveal.
So until that day, search within yourself and live as if you are ready.
---God
