“The Bible makes clear a basic truth that we self-centered humans find difficult to accept, namely, that the natural universe was not created primarily for us. There is no doubt that God wants us to enjoy it and even use its resources to optimize a good life for ourselves. But the ultimate purpose of creation is worship. Nature and all living things were created to glorify God.” WantHumansSelfUsePurposeUniverseEnjoyDifficultNaturalAcceptingClearDoubtCreationWorshipResourcesUltimateEnvironmentalNo DoubtGood LifeWant ULiving ThingsSelf CenteredGlorify Book:Carpe Diem: Seize the Day Source: Carpe Diem: Seize the Day

“We may exist in all universes, but 'hear' only one because of our limitations, the valve of our desires, our practical, physical needs. All is vibration, with nothing vibrating across no distance whatsoever. All is music. A universe, a world, is just one long difficult song.

“Explaining belief has alwayas been difficult. How do you explain a love and a logic at the heart of the universe when the world is so out of whack?
