It was with interest that I read the Cavalier's column in your issue of February 3, particularly his statements to the effect that a supreme, infinite Being, or God, governs the universe through law, and not caprice, and that this universe is infinite and continues to unfold. I was amazed, however, to learn that he classes Christian Scientists with those who consider the Bible a textbook on geology.

Christian Scientists do accept the first chapter of Genesis as the record of true creation, and it should be understood that this creation is spiritual and has nothing to do with the multitude of upheavals which geologists tell us have convulsed the earth's surface for millions of years. Furthermore, Christian Scientists do not insist that this spiritual creation came into existence only six thousand years ago. It is as infinite and eternal as its creator, without beginning or end; otherwise it would be finite.
