Wernher Von BraunRead
For me, the idea of a creation is not conceivable without invoking the necessity of design. One cannot be exposed to the law and order of the universe without concluding that there must be design and purpose behind it all.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Creation implies intentional design and purpose in the universe.
Wernher Von Braun emphasizes that the existence of order and law in the universe suggests a higher design and purpose behind creation. To comprehend creation fully, one must recognize the inherent design that underlies the natural world, pointing to the idea that chaos and randomness are unlikely explanations for the complexity observed in the universe.

Spirit vibrated into matter; hence, both Spirit and matter exist. Matter, however, does not exist in the way that it appears to us. It exists as we see it owing to the delusive force of maya, which makes the indivisible Spirit seem finite and divisible to all appearances. Matter has existence in the same delusive way as does a mirage in the desert.
