What do I say about the story of creation? Well, I guess I would start out by saying “wow, that’s a lot of work!” I mean I know how difficult it can be trying to figure out what to write about next or how many characters I should put in my next book, but to be that creative, to be able to invent the entire world, that’s pretty talented!!
Can you imagine what it must have been like before there was anything? I’ve tried to imagine it many times, but I just always end up with a headache. The human brain, though amazingly perceptive, is unable to comprehend the image of nothingness. Because nothingness means nothing, natta, zip. And from the moment we are born until the moment we die we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell “something”. We can’t picture true emptiness, because in our minds emptiness still has a background color or hue. My picture always looks grey when I try.
Perhaps, instead of searching for nothingness we should all focus on the beautiful things that we can see in this world. We are blessed to live on a planet so vibrant with colors. Embrace them and enjoy them.
Here is a link to a site that shows the different era’s of the “7 wonders of the world” :

Please enjoy reading The Story of Creation and please continue to pass along the story so that we never lose sight wonders that were created for us.
Thank you,
