The author is no doubt an informed and learned individual, but this only goes to show that where matters of spirituality are concerned, in the chaos and ignorance which prevails at the moment, one can make any claim imaginable with hardly any fear of contradiction.



If we believe in a God, then we must attribute to Him a mastery over the known Universe. The Universe contains, at least, 70 million quadrillion stars (70 followed by 21 zeroes) around which are a total of at least that many planets, judging from our own solar system, and on which there must be uncounted life forms. In fact, if every star was a grain of sand 1mm across, there would be enough sand to cover the entire planet Earth --oceans and land masses alike -- with sand to a depth of half a metre.



Such a staggering creation could never be perceived by a human mind. The brain, complex as it is, is still incapable of conceiving on such a vast scale. How then can a human being, who we know Jesus to have been, having sisters, brothers, a mother and father, and having hunger, anger, disappointment, even fury, pain, and even despair, be capable of this kind of intelligence?



If we are saying that life itself partakes of Divinity, then all of us are equally part of God, which is just as Jesus claimed. But to manitain that a God capable of bringing this entire creation into existence should be so powerless as to have but one Son, on a tiny planet in a far flung corner of the Universe, who died after a handful of years, and then produce no other offspring, is such a childish, crude, and incredible assertion that it is a wonder anyone took the time to write, let alone publish such nonsense.
