I
came home from holiday yesterday to find that my dishwasher had sprung a leak
and had flooded our kitchen for days. I
am a creature that dislikes to be inconveniently surprised by home maintenance. I believe that before the Fall all hoses
stayed in tack, all motors ran for infinity, all electricity and electronics
never failed. Electricity, in its
natural form, never fails. That copper
and bushings create energy is a universal truth and that fluids are contained
is fact. What is flawed is I. When I try to harness all these universals I
find my efforts always defective with finiteness. When we consider this truth about ourselves
we must immediately call into question all that we are involved in including
our theories about how the universe came into being. That a Single Loving God did it all is just
as plausible as time plus chance except that the idea of a Single Loving God is
so perfect how could we, finite flawed dishwasher makers, conjure up such a
Devine Idea? If we are capable of
thinking up the idea of God we certainly could create an infinite dishwasher.
