How does God create? In the book of Genesis the method is symbolically set forth: "And God said, Let there be ... and there was ..." When this is taken literally it only leads to arguments between "creationists" and "evolutionists," but when understood metaphysically it contains much logic. Among other things, the Absolute (God) is the Creative Principle, Power, and Intelligence. The creation allegory depicts the Creative Principle expressing its power and intelligence as "Let there be." This is the Logos, the Word of God, and is fulfilled in God's spiritual creation. God has created wholeness, and wholeness has its components which relate to God's plan for THIS universe. Those components are called divine ideas.
