March 23, 2014


Recent discoveries in astronomy have been mind-boggling.  Roughly thirteen million years ago, the universe began with a Big Bang at a point – where?  About a trillionth of a second later, waves of gravitation – some divine afterthought? - went out from that point.  Since then, the universe has been expanding at an ever-accelerating rate – into what?   
If the entire planet earth were as dense as a black hole, its diameter would be seven tenths of an inch!   
My reaction is, “Dear God, you have a lot of explaining to do!”
Today, the response I get is,
“No.
“I don’t owe you anything. 
“I gave you life and the opportunity to make of that gift the best you can see to do. 
“I gave you tools with which to work: the tools of physical capacities and the senses,
the tool of intellect, and the tools of emotion and compassion.
“I have no explaining to do.
You have a lot of learning to do.”
