We must be able to answer atheist science about why if God is good does our perfect God create mentally or physically crippled children in His own Image?
Why if God is perfect does He allow natural disasters to kill and maim innocents?
Why did He create animals, birds and fish to eat alive their own and other species?
Theologians can't answer these question except by saying ”God is mysterious” or “We must have faith” etc.
The keys to understanding why these things happen lies in the difference between time and Eternity and realising that the Big Bang happened at The Fall and not at Creation as science theorises. This requires some adjustment to to both scientific and theological thought and is not easy to comprehend but here are a few pointers.
1. We only ever see through the glass but darkly therefore soul sensing is required to understand that of God.
2. If God is eternal and ethereal and we are of time and physical then if we were created in His Image we are no longer part of Him.
3. The Fall away from God is literal and because Adam was controller of our universe then the whole of creation was expelled at The Fall.
4. Science knows The Fall happened and calls it the 'Big Bang' but wrongly ascribes it to Creation. They don't realise that galaxies speeding away from one another are the result of The Fall from God's Mind.
5. The key to understanding this is to discern the difference between time and timelessness. (Eternity)
6. Also to understand that Eternity has no physical substance and that time is where the physical is and death occurs. A simple analogy of Creation leaving God's Holy Mind is how our blood congeals into a solid when released from its God given warm life stream.
7. Time can be calculated but Eternity can't, therefore a blink of an eye in Eternity can be millions of years in time.
8. God can't be everywhere if He created our universe in a void therefore what is outside of Him is evil and God encapsulated the existing evil in the void into the biblical apple and gave Adam only one Law “Do not steal”. Adam did and The Fall occurred.
9. The difference between time and timelessness is shown when in Genesis God called out “Where art thou?” God builds into his Creations a fail-safe device which automatically ejects evil if it tries to enter. Thus our Creation was expelled into evil time and is why we now live in Satan's kingdom not God's.
10. Evil percolated throughout Creation and the aberrations of dinosaurs and other giants and dwarfs of species came about. These God started to eliminate or restore when He could once more commune with Adam. Thus what science calls evolution has been God eliminating/restoring species to bring those and the natural laws to approximately what we know today.
11. Remember that Creation is still corrupted as are all humans, so corrupted humans investigating corrupted creation cannot bring perfect answers.
12. These will only come about when all humans are saved i.e. able to first reject evil in themselves and then help others to do so. Then Heaven on earth will come about.
I am not a scholar but listening recently to radio discussions about Einstein's Theory of Relativity leads me to think that he was closest to describing how time differs in relation to speed and how millions of years described by science was instantaneous in Eternity.
I hope that this has stimulated you into wanting to think about The Big Bang happening at The Fall and not at Creation and that God is trying to rescue us who are now in a different state of being to Him and which is why traditional theology cannot answer atheist questions.
If anyone is interested in how we survived The Fall etc the link to my writings PHANTOMS Of REALITY is on my profile. There the link to CREATION & THE FALL will access the full account of how to reconcile Evolution with Genesis.
