Creation: Definition.

Creation: Definition.

The creation of fundamental laws, which are constant, unchanging, and unalterable. Therefore, they determine the foundations of the existence of life and the material world.

Genesis 1:1

Creation is the creation of definition. What can be created depends on what already exists. Whatever has already been defined has a limiting effect on what we are able to create now.

If there are twelve apples in the basket, we cannot take fifteen apples out of the basket. However, we can subtract fifteen from twelve and obtain negative three as the result, because mathematically this is correct and meaningful. What exists defines what we are able to create. This means that what we accept and acknowledge as reality also defines what we are able to accept as possible.

The definitions that we know limit us; they limit what is possible. The definitions that we do not know, but which exist and define our world, also limit what is possible.

At the beginning of the Bible, Creation tells us that the definitions necessary for the existence of the world exist, that God created them, and that the Human is able to continue shaping this world. Since the world already exists before the Human, the Human is limited by the laws created by God. However, every additional definition that the Human creates also limits the Human.

The Bible as a whole presents the laws according to which the world exists, and it also presents the manner and the methods by which the Human creates additional definitions within this world. Furthermore, it shows how these definitions appear in the material world and what they transform it into.
