Chapter 1 Dead or Alive, That is the Question
Chapter 1 Dead or Alive, That is the Question
In the Bible, God created the world in a mere six days.
On the first day, he said "Let there be light!" and light appeared. Have you ever woken up to the brightness of day and realised you could see for the first time? Probably not. Lucky you. For me, I can assure you that it wasn't pleasant.
Before God came into the picture, I was there. Just lazing around in the middle of space and minding my own business. All of a sudden, this newbie, who discovered the power of creation, decided to run an experiment to test his abilities after intruding into my territory and created a whole universe. Then, before I could collect myself, he was gone. Instead of my humble abode of emptiness, a whole solar system and galaxy now stood in its stead. What a mess!
However, there was a silver lining. I soon discovered that my existence was a complete mystery. While Adam and Eve could sing praises to their Lord and call each other by 'names', I'm left to wonder about what I am.
Better still, am I dead or alive? What's the meaning of my existence? How was I created?
