The brief summary of the divinely inspired record of creation, recorded in the latter part of the first, and first three verses of the second chapters of Genesis, furnish a declaration upon which must be established the relation which man holds to the lesser ideas of God, the relation of man to God, and of God's purpose to man.
In this Scientific account of creation we find a definite declaration of the qualities of all God had made, an affirmation of completeness, continuity, and order. From the infinite Mind has emanated the universe and all its identities, from the least to the greatest.
To man, the crowning work of His creation,—His own likeness,—He gave power of comprehension, to know both the Creator and the creation, to comprehend the laws of being and to execute those laws, to reflect or make manifest to all the universe His—God's—power. The declaration of completeness, the perfection of quality, the perfect harmony and continuity of the divine order, the complete wholeness and unity of purpose, all things working together for good; a place for everything, and everything in its place. Infinite Wisdom has made no mistake, but has finished His work, and is satisfied therewith, and put thereon the seal of perfection—for "God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good."
