God is creating the entire universe fully and totally in this present now. Everything God created six thousand years ago—and even previous to that—as he made the world, God creates now all at once. --- Meditations With Meister Eckhart
People argue about how long ago the universe, or maybe our particular solar system, was created, or when it was initiated. Was it 13.8 billion years ago? Was it 6,000 thousand years ago? Was it some other measure of time?
No matter the number, it is recreated constantly, or as Meister Eckhart said, "now all at once." It makes me think of our bodies. Every year 98% of the atoms in our bodies are replaced! The foods we eat, the air we breathe, the lotions we put on our bodies, etc. bring new atoms, we expel atoms as we breathe out, through our bodily functions, etc. Atoms circulate. Yet it's still us. We are recreated over and over and over again.
Creation is not a one time long ago action, it is a moment to moment ongoing process.
So too with our thinking. Our beliefs of childhood morph constantly as we learn and expand, reason and consider, apply critical thinking skills, etc.
I stand in awe of Creation.
