How small his God must be
A recent letter objected to the concept of life being discovered someday, in the recently confirmed salt laden waters of Mars.
My guess is this person thought there was no chance of life existing there, because it wasn’t specifically mentioned in Genesis. It was difficult to get what his objection was, until the last lines about the impossibility of life coming from nothing.
As I sat in church that morning, I reflected on just how small this person’s concept of God must be. Without even venturing into science and its conjecture over how life began, I would say that his God must be only an Earthbound deity, and that he must not be considering the broader implications of omnipotence and omnipresence.
