Indeed...St. Augustine has a marvelous mind, and has already, in my brief reading today, brought something to my attention, which I never would have thought of...really enlightening...
Would that everyone on the evo/creo/ID threads read St. Augustine, and try to understand what he is saying....
Ah, but then, I suppose that is asking too much?
And how did God say, “Let there be light?” Was this in time or in the eternity of His Word?
And was there the material sound of a voice when God said, “Let there be light,” as there was when He said, “Thou art my beloved Son?”
What is the light itself which was created? Is it something spiritual or material?
Now when God said, “Let there be light,” and light was made, did He say this on a certain day or before the beginning of days?
