How the Mind of God Has Structured Reality

If the Creator is perfect, then so must His Creation be perfect. And if His intention is to generate a being capable of freely coming to know and to worship Him, then logically reality must be perfectly structured to produce this result. If we examine what the authoritative Bahá’í texts tell about reality, then we can discern the nature of this structure, how it effects this result, and the extent to which this portrayal of reality conforms to contemporary scientific axioms about this same reality. This presentation attempts to show this compliance.
