There are not two creations but only one—God's perfect, spiritual universe. As we glimpse this truth, we might say with the Biblical character Job, who was referring to God, "I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee." Job 42:5 To put it another way: "Now I get it! I see God's allness. And I see creation as it really is—spiritual, not material—glorifying God."
Creation as the outcome of God, Spirit, would have to be spiritual and good, reflecting His nature. The book of Genesis says that God saw what He made as "very good." And it tells us, "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished....
A few verses later we read, "But there went up a mist from the earth .... And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground ...." See Gen. 1:31; 2:1, 6, 7 This is the beginning of the Adam and Eve allegory, which suggests that there is another creation—a material one—the opposite of the original. Yet the mist hasn't affected what was "finished." What was finished remains just as good as God saw it to be. The fog didn't change that. The appearance of evil, with its claim of intelligent matter, doesn't change the fact that good alone is real. Science and Health says, "Befogged in error (the error of believing that matter can be intelligent for good or evil), we can catch clear glimpses of God only as the mists disperse, or as they melt into such thinness that we perceive the divine image in some word or deed which indicates the true idea,—the supremacy and reality of good, the nothingness and unreality of evil." Science and Health, p. 205
