In the Beginning...



In 1903, Herbert Spencer (an English philosopher, biologist, anthropologist,
 sociologist, and prominent classical liberal political theorist of the Victorian era) said all things could be categorized into one of 5 categories: 1. Time 2. Force 3. Action 4. Space 5. Matter Now, re-read Genesis 1:1: In the beginning (time), God (force) created (action) the heavens (space) and the earth (matter). Congratulations Spencer! You have just described Genesis 1:1! Though he was agnostic, Spencer insisted that he was not concerned to undermine religion in the name of science, but to bring about a reconciliation of the two.
