Something about Creation

 

A friend of mine once

pointed out an unusual

revelation of hers to me:

She said, who knows why

the Good Lord does what

he does? Most importantly,

why doesn’t he do that

which apparently needs

to be done?

Hence the well-known

and often recited phrase

comes to mind—

The Lord works in

mysterious ways.

She then made her obser-

vation clear, providing

an example of one

glaring oddity in nature

concerning the moose.

She saw the creature as

a profoundly gangling

oddity among four-legged

beasts.

Surely God had pulled

random and discarded

spare parts from his

junkyard when creating

the moose.

Why, even man’s

Bullwinkle cartoon

version is a more

sensible and appealing

creature.

I was given a profound

thought to her proposition,

and was struck with the

possibility that indeed

other species may consider

that human kind in nature

and appearance had too

been conceived and con-

structed in a profoundly

humorous and unorthodox

way.

Who knows, in the grand

scheme of things, perhaps

the whole concept of

creation was one great

big cosmological joke.
