The one and only creation is the spiritual universe and man created by God. Furthermore, the infinitude of all real being is implicit in the allness of Spirit and is controlled by Spirit alone. Such is the teaching of demonstrable Christian Science. Therefore, instead of affirming that right will triumph in the end, the Christian Scientist, conscious of God's allness, knows that Truth is triumphant now.
In this Science the fact is made abundantly plain that good and evil are not like two combatants warring with each other for the control or possession of man. Because divine Love fills all space, exercises all power, is all-controlling and encompassing, there is neither room nor opportunity for any opposition to God. Consequently, evil has no actual domain; it does not victimize man or make conditions for him. Under the marginal heading "Substance versus supposition," on page 278 of our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy writes: "In Spirit there is no matter, even as in Truth there is no error, and in good no evil. It is a false supposition, the notion that there is real substance-matter, the opposite of Spirit. Spirit, God, is infinite, all. Spirit can have no opposite."
Spirit, Mind, is All. Such is the triumphant edict of demonstrable Christian Science. Therefore, how unreal is the testimony of material sense, whereby evil boasts itself above good. Blandly denying the verity of God's omnipotence and of man's wholly spiritual existence as His reflection, the so-called carnal mind puts forth its dream conception of man as made of material flesh, temporal as clay, fading as a flower. Needless to say, as revealed in Christian Science this finite conception of man is a myth. Therefore utterly fictitious and self-deceived is the braggadocio of mortal mind that it can make man sick or sinful, reward the wicked and punish the righteous, or engulf the world in confusion and war.
