We have come to the point at which the thing that exists in our sparse view of reality must do something. So, let us consider the principal that is the mandate for actions and entities that have reached this particular point: association. To narrow the field, somewhat; let us look at an association between something that exists at a certain time, and a nothing that has the potential to exist. Well, actually, the nothing that has the potential to exist is actually something that exists; since, in this place in reality, potential is itself a thing that exists. In fact, the whole of this reality, at this point, is potential, restrained.
At this point on the timeline of the existence of the kingdom of man, the potential, restrained, allows us to say that everything that is in this reality can be defined by referring to it as being, the something from which something comes. For instance, among the, much something, that we readily recognize is the earth. On this earth thing, there is a special something that we want to explore more. Scripture describes a unique something that is a part of the design of the earth as being this broad and multi-faceted principle: human occupation.
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
(Isaiah 45:18-19)
To many people, this may seem to be a trivial matter; however, many scientists–among which are the ecologists–are working vigorously and constantly to remind us of that particular design feature of the earth. There is much study about the quality of the new things that can be provided from the things that are here now. We are rapidly learning that the earth itself is subject to this often quoted principle of quality control; “Garbage in; garbage out”. Though, we must add that; in our past, from time to time, God has overridden this principle, as we see here.
