Shatter Theory


Every culture seems to have its own creation theory.  Where we came from or how we came to be is something that really is interesting.  It gives a foundation to our belief system, like that hard surface children want under their Lego creations, or block towers.  Without it everything might come tumbling down at any moment.

We cannot conceive of being without being made or built. That made me think.

What if the Creator dropped his creation, his one ultimate perfect creation, one he had poured all of his love and skill into, one creation made of the heart and soul of a god!

It would shatter, spewing pieces of all shapes and sizes in every direction, all part of the original, but now indistinguishable from it or each other, seemingly random and unique pieces falling into being.

But the secret is that they would still be held together by the love of the one who made the original.  And those who understood that would find they were still inextricably connected in every way.  Except the one they found most obvious.

Of course we aren't gods so we don't see everything.  In fact, it is possible we don't see most things.  We see the things that seem important to us because we don't know what else to look for, but if we thought like gods our perspective might be entirely different.
