Or Else

(7)

Mother Nature created The Universe in response to the Will of God. That is our working hypothesis. God, at the top, gave the order. God did not become Personally involved in the Details of Creation. God is a 'generalist,' not a 'specialist' or a 'technician.' Minute details do not interest God. God did not 'micro-manage' the Creation, and that is a good thing.

Mother Nature created The Universe about 13 billion years ago. Since then, matters evolved over time, and finally, after 13 billion years of Evolution, God saw his chance to become involved in The Great Spectacle. About six thousand years ago He announced to the startled residents of The Earth that He was the creator and that furthermore they had better behave in ways pleasing to God or else.

It is this 'or else' which is the focus of our current interest.
