The Earth Is Mans Home

From the second story Of crea-
ton which we find in Genesis, in
chapter 2, the story which concen-
trates on man himself we can
select some outstanding impress
sions which the story makes, and
no doubt was intended TO make.
First of all, this earth is the home
of man. That is its principal use
Man came late to the planet; God
made us last. We did not make our
appearance here till all was ready
for US. Some thinkers have thought
of man as sort Of homeless crea-
ture. dropped into this earth al
most by accident fitting in no
where Quite the contrary, man
might be lonely and restless on
some far galaxy, but not on this
green earth Man furthermore,
being at the top Of the ladder Of
creation, is master Of this planet

Zone Man Is No Man"

The Greeks had a slogf n One
man is no man, meaning that we
each need the help and companion
ship Of others to live at all, as
human beings The story of the
first man as told in Genesis Illus
trates this in a moving way. God
sees that this man is incomplete,
though he is set in the midst of
great beauty and has work to oc-
cupy mind and hands So God pro-
duces all the other animals; but
man can only talk about them, not
with them. So at last another hu
man being is made. Before, there
was only man alone, now there
is a human race. This is not sci
ence, not intended to be, but it IS
a profound truth. Man is made for
community. Without it, sinks to
the brutes' level. In community a
man becomes human. And yet if
the only companjonship man finds
is human, he has still missed his
destiny. For man was made for
fellowship, above all, with God.
Only friend Of God can man
become what God intended him

Top Of Gre alton

Let US pursue that thought about
the top Of creation little further
This story in Genesis presents man
as made from dust, and all other
living things, both plants and
beasts and birds, are likewise
sprung from the dust by the power
Of God Man has a kind Of kinship
with all Of life, and therefore, as
Albert SchWeitzer has said, must
have a reverence for life Man
cannot give life TO himself nor to
any other creature; and should be
very slow about taking life Of any
sort Nevertheless it is much
nearer the truth to say that the
creation is made for man, than
that man is made for the rest Of
creation Not that God intends
everything in the world to be used.
II is an interesting point that the
trees OF Eden are not all good for
food; some of them are simply
beautiful to see The beauty Of
the world sometimes its useless
beauty tlike d sunset is for man
alone, Just as its usefulness some
times its unbeautful usefulness
is appreciated best by man alone,
Only man can heat the arctic
and cool the tropics; only man
can bring his foods from the ends
of the earth
