"For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him
and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist." (Col. 1:16-17)
There was a family of mice who lived all their lives inside of a large piano. From time to time,
their piano-world was filled with music from the instrument, filling all the dark spaces with sound
and harmony. The mice proclaimed that their musical world was a product of organic evolution,
which had occurred over a mysterious 30-billion-year process.
One day, one daring mouse, after having climbed to the top of the piano, found out how the music
was made. He returned with great joy to explain it to the other mice. He said there was a great
person sitting outside the piano who was pressing on keys. The keys were attached to small
hammers which were made to bang against wires. The wires were tightly stretched at graduated
lengths which trembled and vibrated when the hammers hit them, and this was how the music was
made. All the other mice laughed him to scorn, and said that his whole explanation was nothing
more than a myth.
Meanwhile, the pianist continued to play!
