The First Defining Moment

In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth.

And from that day the children of His creation has argued about exactly how that happened.  This is not about whether or not there is a God.  I personally believe there is and He is the ultimate Creator, whatever form He takes for you.  The world was created, either millions of years ago by a flash of light or by a Divine Designer who guided it into existence in six days.  This post isn't here to argue the existence of a Supreme Being, it is here to talk about defining moments in history.  I decided to start with the Creation of the Earth since without this moment there would be no others.  I promise all my posts won't be this philosophical.  I just felt since this is the first post I would talk about the most important defining moment

Every culture has a creation myth and the center of each myth is the people.  They believe world was created just for them to stand on and do great things.  Perhaps this, above all else, is one of the greatest points of conflict.  How many times have battle cries contained the words "My God is Greater than your God"  How many times have a people said  "God made this plot of land for me and you need to get off it."?

There are billions of people on the face of the earth, each with a measure of Divine Creation embedded in their souls.  This world was created so we can all find our own greatness.  As long as we squabble over who has the best house, who is the most beautiful, who has the best watering hole, we will never find that divinity.

Some days I want to stand on a mountain top and scream out "I exist" to the universe.  I want to be heard.  I want to matter.  Then I sit in the quiet and watch a sunset or hear a child's laughter or feel rain on my face and I know I exist, I am heard and I matter, after all, this world was created for me to do great things.  The creation of the world is the most important defining moment in History.
