Abstract: | A basic question in any great religion is, “What is the source of creation, how did order emerge from disorder, or how did we get here?” Among the myths proposed is the Genesis account of an original creation from a condition “without form and void” by a supernatural creator. Now the sciences reveal a more cogent explanation, a new myth of the process of self-creation in an evolutionary continuity of being. Instead of an external power of creation, my thesis is that a generalized concept of love as a generic power of attraction is the dynamics of creation. |
