THE FIRMAMENT

From the September 1939 issue of The Christian Science Journal


IN the first chapter of Genesis we find a record of creation which begins with light and ends with man made in the image and likeness of God.

The question may be asked, Why, if man is God's highest creation or idea, does he come last in the record and not first?

In order to grasp the meaning of this, it is necessary to realize that the first chapter of Genesis is really a record of unfoldment or revelation, rather than of creation, for there can never have been a time when God was without His creation, or ideas, just as there never was a time when the sun existed without its rays.
