Do you know how I picture God myself?" he said. "As an enormous, creative organ beyond our ken, who scatters millions of worlds into space, just as one single fish would deposit its spawn in the sea. He creates because it is His function as God to do so, but He does not know what He is doing and is stupidly prolific in His work and is ignorant of the combinations of all kinds which are produced by His scattered germs. Guy De Maupassant
About This Quote

The world is a creation of God and everything that we see in this world is a result of the work of the divine. It is also God’s function to create and He does not know what He is doing. However, we do not see the work of the divine in the same way that God sees it. We do not know how powerful and powerful God is because we can only see a small part of what He has created. Therefore, when we look at the creation, we cannot fully comprehend it.
