appears to be no solution to the man-made
problems surrounding us. Very little has been
accomplished in our factories, and indeed, in the
whole field of technology. The world around us ac-
complishes much more than we human beings do.
No problems are created by the works of nature,
but man’s work is constantly bedeviled by
problems.
The earth rotates unceasingly in two ways - on its
own axis and in orbit around the sun. But it does
not create any noise in the process. A tree goes to
work in the way of a great factory, but it does not
emit any smoke. Daily, innumerable creatures are
dying in the sea, but they do not pollute the water.
The universe has been running in accordance with
the divine order for billions of years, without ever
having to reorganize itself, for everything about the
way it is organized is so perfect. There are countless
stars and planets moving around in space: they
keep to the same speed, never lagging behind, and
never exceeding their set pace. All these are
miracles of the highest order. They are far more
wonderful than anything that man can create, and
they happen every instant in this world of ours.
