The Hebrew legend of the supposed crea- tion, which is in the book of Genesis, is an echo of the notions of the Acadians, Assyr- ians, and other more ancient peoples, from whom the idea was borrowed. It is ar- ranged in six days, which are now explained as six periods, each one of vast duration, and one of rest, or of the absence of any new things. The Greek idea is that space (Oaranos, heaven) was first; time (Kronos),
106
second; and (Ge) the earth, or matter, was third. A combination of these prime ele- ments, the expansion, distribution, and vari- ation of matter in space and time, is what is called creation, or changing one form of mat- ter into another, indefinitely. What the power, or form, or principle really is that does the work we do not know, but we rever- ently call it God, and feel that evil is transi- tory and good eternal, because where univer- sal principle and law rule and govern all things there can be no permanent evil, but every act, every occurrence must be for the ultimate good of all.
