AB - The work of God as Creator is not a bygone event trapped in the past, but the eternal presence of God which continues in the present and to the future. The work of the Creator is not limited to the generation of creatures, but encompasses maintaining his relationships with creatures. The God who created heaven can not be limited to the existence in heaven. God creates the diverse realms of creation into the productive relationship of interdependence. The realm of creation refers to the relationship between humans and plants, and between humans and animals. As the order of creation, heaven represents the invisible realm and earth the visible realm, providing a space to grow and prosper with humans responsible for preserving the created order. The important point in creation is not natural revelation, but the activity of God that happens and is experienced beyond the natural recognition of God. A human being created in God’s image must take care of and protect the community of creation to maintain the order of symbiosis. Man exists in a community of solidarity with other creatures, but he is distinguished from the creatures because he is a being who possesses the image of God. In this sense, the human being is entrusted with the responsibility to care for and protect the creature community.
