God is not an evolutionist nor is He a creationist. Nor is He democrat or republican. He is not a catholic, protestant or jew. He is not a feminist, nor is He a chauvinist. He is not a ku klux klanner and He is not a black panther.

God has no beginning and no end. Simply, he is not under the auspices of time and he, therefore is not hampered by time, science, reality, language, politics or race. God is not a nit-picking egotist. Because he could understand 1805 and 1905 and 2005 before any of it existed for human beings, he cannot be thought of as taggable. In other words, I cannot catch the wind, I can only manipulate mass in accordance with its potential for harm or good.

Prayer is a form of manipulation.

God is a Spirit. Consider: The Bible says that there is no gender in the kingdom of heaven and yet God considers Himself, He.

I believe that God created the heavens and the earth and I believe that God created humans. Perhaps the book of Genesis is metaphoric. Where this all began, I cannot really know and where it will all end, I cannot know. Doors in reality lead to eternity.

No beginning. No end.

When I was a child and jumped in the creek on my grandfather's land, I did not need to know where the creek began or where it ended. That would be a superfluity of knowledge, which would have been useless to my enjoyment. I am not a cartographer.

Man is under the auspices of time. Therefore, man is evolutionist, creationist, democrat, republican, mail man, doctor...etc.

When I meet a man or woman, I do not need to know how they began nor how they shall end.

A pregnant belly is round. No beginning. No end.

Unless ceaserian, the human being begins his or her life being squeezed out of the body of a woman through her vagina. This is how life begins for a human baby. And it cannot be denied that the spark which began the baby's life was creation. Action on the part of like, but seperate beings was required to create the baby.

However, the life of the baby is the actual evolution. Or so most hope. Though I suppose that there are those who hope the baby doesn't evolve. Those who hope the baby is not intelligent. Those who hope the baby won't get in their way.
