PURPOSE OF CREATION: Part 4 by Dr. P.C. Simon We found in the
previous sections that the universe exists because of
attraction, affinity or love and that the Creator is love. We
are looking for further proof that the creator is love,
unconditional love.
The nature of love must tally with the nature of the Creator in
all respects. The next nature I looked for in the Creator was
His granting freedom to his Creation, because Love should give
freedom, complete freedom to its beloved.
Complete freedom means independence, the right to disobey the
Creator, freedom to do evil, to commit atrocities, hurt fellow
beings, to create havoc in the world, destroy His creation, even
attempt to destroy Him and declare Him Dead as Friedrich
Nietzsche did. In spite of all these possibilities the Creator
has given freedom to his creation because that is the nature of
love, unconditional love.
Therefore, evil in the world is the result of love, infinite
love. We could argue that the Creator should have given freedom
to do only what is right and not evil. That would not be
complete freedom. Granting full freedom further proves that the
nature of the Creator is love. The next
characteristic of love I investigated was attraction. Love must
attract and not dispel. I found attraction emphasised in Quantum
Chromodynamics which asserts that the force that holds quarks
together within the proton is gluon, an attraction. When quarks
move farther apart, the gluons get stronger and pull them
together. The farther the quarks get, the stronger the gluons
become. For this reason, an individual quark has not been seen.
On the other hand, the nearer the gluons come, the weaker the
attraction becomes. This is the opposite of what we expect. Why
does this happen? It is to give freedom for the quarks to move
within the protons. This tallies well with the nature of love
that allows freedom to everything. This is a classical proof
that the universe is created with love and that the Creator is
love. When we are convinced that love is the basic element of
existence, we will persist to prove that truth just as when we
know that two and two is four, we will not accept any other
answer as correct. If we get another answer, we will look again
and again until we see where we made the mistake. That is what
we have to do in assessing the nature of the Creator.
Khalil Gibran, the Lebanese-born American citizen, poet,
painter, and philosopher, wrote in his book, The Prophet, that
men looking at their own shadow, thought that the sun is a
caster of shadows. We can look in the wrong direction and get
wrong answers. So to find the truth, we must repeatedly
investigate our findings.
There is an anecdote that illustrates this point. An engineer,
an experimental physicist, a theoretical physicist and a
philosopher were hiking through the hills of Scotland. From the
crest of a hill they spotted a black sheep on the next hill. The
engineer spoke out first , "Look, the sheep in Scotland are
black". The experimental physicist interjected. "Some of the
sheep in Scotland are black" The theoretical physicist thought
for a while and countered, saying "At least one sheep in
Scotland is black". The philosopher broke his long silence as
conclusion, "At least on one side." If we critically examine our
findings we will find the right answer.
The next important character of the creator I investigated was
giving." "Love" should give everything it has and not just a
pittance out of his or her resources. Creator cannot be
satisfied after giving me an iota of his immense assets. St.
Paul wrote "Love bestoweth everything." This is to say that, if
the Creator is love, He/ She has to share His/Her wisdom,
knowledge, power, strength and everything it has with us. This
has not happened so far. Why?
The giver cannot give more than the receiver can receive. We
cannot give a one pound gold brick to a three month old infant
who can hold only a quarter ounce rattle. We cannot teach
infinitesimal calculus to a third grade student. So, the Creator
has to upgrade the ability of human beings to receive divine
knowledge and power. This is happening now.
We are in the age of information. Knowledge is doubling and
redoubling in shorter and shorter periods. There is an explosion
of information.
In his Chronology of Science And Discovery, Isaac Asimov, the
prodigious science writer, recorded hundreds of discoveries
taking place in shorter and shorter periods.
I gathered and tabulated them and found the first twenty-five
discoveries took two million years, the next twenty-five took
only sixteen hundred years and the third twenty-five took only
three hundred years. Then discoveries increased in numbers and
the time lapse reduced. Now, there is an explosion of
information every day about outer space, space travel, radio
galaxies, quasars, genes, nucleotides, genetically altered
drugs, food products, growth patterns, sex alterations, cloning,
disease prevention and treatments, microsurgery, nanotechnology
and on and on. Computer knowledge is advancing so fast that new
models become almost obsolete within a short period. The next
generation computer is in the making before marketing the
present model.
This proves that knowledge is increasing at a very fast rate. Of
course, it is evidence that the Creator is trying to impart
knowledge as quickly as possible to human beings. But only those
with prepared mind will grasp the significance of all this
explosion of knowledge.
In the next section, we will investigate how far we have come
and when and what will be the final end.
