Scientists have made things too complicated. They say “The world is 20 billion years old.” Catholics believe that is silly. The best science is the simplest.
Catholic Fundamentalism realizes: “Wait a minute! Men can use computers. They program with 2-Dimensional pixels to produce special effects that look real! Men program realistic movies with two dimensional pixels.”
Catholics take the next step: “God is smarter than we are! He programs in 3-D pixels and energies! He compiles them into systems and beings! The Creation Program is a huge, long-running movie. God programs in actual 3-D! God programs with actual particles!”
That is a break-through thought!
He had help. His Programming Assistants, called “angels” back in the Iron Age, helped Him with the tiny electrons and what are programmed to appear as giant galaxies pinwheeling through space. Pressing the “Copy/Print” command at Programming HQ bring what looks like ten thousand galaxies into being almost instantly.
Smarter people are blessed to understand: “I am a star in The Big Movie! I am free to write my own lines and direct my own actions. When I leave the set, I will meet The Critic.”
Catholics have an advantage in more easily realizing: “God has written and downloaded The Creation Program for us! He gives us free will. The Loving Programmer wants us to obey His Operating Instructions. If we have followed His Directions, we win The Big Award!”
What about the actors who have decided to ignore the Director’s Directions? It’s painful to think about that. It is more painful to consider the fate of souls who have kept others from following directions.
The human soul is the organizing principle around which each human spirit, mind, and body is downloaded. At the end of the performance, it will stand before The Critic. His Mother is there. So are all those who did a good job following directions. It is the happiest time and place imaginable.
