The world was not created once and for all time for each of us individually. There are added to it in the course of our life things of which we have never had any suspicion.

Everybody has a world, and that world is completely hidden until we begin to inquire. As soon as we do, that entire world opens to us and yields itself. And you see how full and complex it is.
The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we're not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.
And when the world is created, it is created in such a way that those eternal objects of God's loving wisdom become actualities - interacting with one another, relating to God in the finite realm.
The world is a more mysterious place than we admit sometimes - there is more to the world than just human evil.
I don't believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn't say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It's an ongoing process.
The world is much more mysterious than we ever thought.
One aspect of this is the way we have come during recent centuries to appreciate that the world and indeed the very universe in which we live have evolved over immense periods of time.
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.
We actually form the world at every instant, although we're not cognitively aware of that but - and there are people would argue with that to some degree.
I certainly believe that God did create the world, yeah, absolutely I believe that.
