I Am A Neonaturalist (Part 3)

The Creator could never be a human being, as what ancient, primitive people in Mesopotamia and in other ancient places believed. Humans are only creatures, as we have known. But the Creator or God is a self-generating energy with great omniscience and omnipotence, filling up the infinity. So He is the sourceless source, self-existing, beginning and continuing endlessly.

I have unwavering faith in my strong belief, based on logic, that the Creator as designed every creature, inanimate or animate, to fit to His selected habitat for each creature which He has placed under His control.

For instance, He has made distinctive design for each animal although He has designed all of them to live on the crust of the earth, and then He has instilled in each animal the instinct to comply with all His un-written, self-executory laws such as the law of change, motion, pattern, design, perpetuation, propagation, etc.

It is why a lioness has her shape different from that of a fish or a bird; and, upon reaching maturity, she does not grow any more in obedience to the design and pattern implanted in her by the Creator. His law of death is one of the means of His control, to repeat. As we know, the lioness is a predatory beast. Yet, obeying the Creator’s law of procreation which carries with it love and the responsibility to take care of an offspring, the lioness does not gobble up her cubs; instead, she feeds them and protects them from harm. Is it not amazing to think of the behavior of the lioness?

I want to point out that when I speak of the Creator, I do not intend to join in any religious enterprise nor intend to teach a religious doctrine. Religion is one thing, the Creator is another; it is absurd to equate religion with the Creator. Any religion is invented by man and man is a creature by God – I mean true God, not a human god. Any human god is property of religion upon whom its fallacious doctrine is based.

In the Holy Bible which is also manmade, there are two gods: God, the Creator to whom I owe my existence, and god, the creature. To repeat, human god is man’s creature, the basis of his religion; but true God is the Creator of almost all things, the Author of all unwritten self-executory laws under the operations of which everything functions.

It is true God, the Creator, referred to in Matt. 19:26 which says: “…with God all things are possible.” But in Judges 1:19, the Bible refers to a human god, barren of omniscience and omnipotence; for the verse says: “And the Lord was with Judah, and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.” This verse goes to show that a human god, like the human god who was tortured and nailed to the cross, is not the Creator with omniscience and omnipotence. The assertion is based on facts.

From time immemorial man has been creating human gods and religions. It was why the ancient, primitive people in Mesopotamia or Egypt did have numerous human or myth gods. Most of these human gods, who were ahead of Jesus Christ, were called Saviors, born of Virgin Mothers who were tortured to death, became religious martyrs, buried and rose from the dead then ascended to heaven.
