The opening passages of the Bible, the first chapter of Genesis—despite their using the imagery of animals, plants, and stars—are purely spiritual in their message.
It is made undeniably clear there that God is the only power or operator. Everything totally expresses the will of God, is the outcome of God. All creation and being are unquestionably good. Nothing incomplete. Nothing flawed. Nothing merely in process. Everything is being what it is; not one thing is changing into something else. In God's creation of absolute perfection nothing is improving, nothing worsening. Every item is at the point of unqualified rightness.
Irresistibly implied is one creative consciousness, the divine Mind. There is not even a momentary sense of uncertainty or resistance in God's self-expression— His creation of man and the universe—as it is treated in this chapter, which is so seminal in the teaching of Christian Science.
