Chapter 2 Skill makes the physical

What a supernatural being could do

Abilities infinite
producing an intricate
cosmos material
physical, beautiful,
with wardens to care for it,
who could share and communicate
with this Lord supernatural,
Sustainer impeccable:
a happy relationship
with respect, love and friendship.

How wonderful that must have been,
if that display we could have seen:
the dazzling spectacular
as stars and galaxies in splendour
of detail and design and colour
and power of movement, laws and order,
burst forth, arranged;

and on one sphere
the temperature would be just right
for life to live, sufficient light
for complex photochemistry,
and so that beauty some would ‘see’ …

A beautiful construction,
of intricate creation;
a covering vegetation,
and teeming population –
abundant types of creature:
live beings, varied-nature;
and those to be the carers,
the wardens, stewards, rulers,
made so to know the Maker,
the Managing Director,
conversing, friendly, happy,
with specialised capacity
endowed, to see and wonder,
delight in this utopia.

The wardens, stewards, friends could see
the wonder of the Majesty
that had in perfect goodness made
the busy beauty, life displayed
around; with all proceeding perfectly
harmoniously, successfully.

Land for living, air and ocean.
Simple compound for solution
(body molecules’ transportation),
quenching thirst and dehydration.

The mixture, composition of the air
must complement the structure of those formed for living there.

Carpeting life-form to seed and for cover,
for food for the creatures created by order
– similar patterns but differences too,
a spectrum of life, all successful, to view:
The ‘families’ of created beings showed
design varieties with similarities,
which flowed,
proceeding from omniscient power, and pleasure
of One whose knowledge, sense and love are beyond measure.

[But later some liked the idea
that with no guiding force,
nor energy source,
chance could, on its own make appear,
in time, complex things on the sphere;
but chance is destructive,
cannot be constructive
– the thermodynamical course!]

Apart from such visible, wonderful beauty,
all life had incredible inward complexity –
atomic arrangement and chemical activity,
timed and controlled with precise interaction,
provoked by molecular shape and position,
with messenger enzymes,
and a network of membranes
forming compartments, –
necessary arrangements.

Design spectacular, far superior
(– from which all copies originate),
incomprehensibly deeper, greater
than electronic computers that calculate
– clearly achievement of transcendent mind,
– acknowledged –
they weren’t to its witness yet blind.

The sphere orbited around its sun
and regularly on its axis spun, –
perfect conditions, and around
the patterns of the galaxies surround.
Their constant lights and movements’ rhythms
help measurement of time,
and travelling directions.
