Can you make a reasonable explanation over the issue that there is no difference between the creation of an atom and that of the whole Universe according to the power of God?
The existence of God is necessary, while that of the creatures is possible. This difference of constitution is the major cause of ease in creation. The necessary Beings existence comes from His self, is eternal and without beginning. And all other possible beings comes to the realm of existence through the creation of God, without this creation stays in the darkness of nothingness. For this reason, the possible is described as the one whose existence and non-existence are equal. Let us explain this difference of constitution between the 'necessary' and the 'possible':
There is so big a difference of constitution between man and script as to be called endless. Therefore, man can easily write and erase a script.
You would find it weird if someone asked you: 'which one is more difficult: to write mount or rock?' or to write sun or lamp, which is easier?' And you would reply saying: The sun is bigger than the lamp, but not according to my knowledge; I know and write both with the same ease.
Materials are small and big, little and much in comparison to one another and this comparison is valid just among themselves. Just as the Divine Knowledge regards the small and the big as the same, so the Divine Power creates them with the same ease.
All the names of God are eternal. There is no difference between little and much in the eyes of the Eternal. In Math, when you deduce one or one billion from the infinite, you will again have an infinite. For this notion, one and one billion are the same.
And the names of God are penetrating; in other words have covered the whole Universe with their reflections. After the sun has illuminated the entire city, then for it there is no difference between a skyscraper and a shack, a fly and an eagle, or ant and man. As it covers everything with its light, the sun illuminates all of them with the same ease. Even if you drive all the people from this city, you will not be of any help in its work, and not even will you pose any burden if you bring a hundred-fold people from other cities, for its light has covered the entire city.
Problems can be hard or easy when compared between each other. However, if a human being knows the solutions of all these problems, then there is no notion of difficulty or ease for him. The one who knows all of the multiplication table knows with the same ease that two times two equals four and that nine times nine equals eighty-one. That nine is bigger than two does not bring about a burden upon his knowledge. In addition, it is not harder for him to write nine than to two. These numbers are small or big within each other, not according to the power and knowledge of the writer.
All the names of God have surrounded everything. Neither for His power, knowledge, nor for His other qualities can there be any difference between the entire matter and a part of it, little, and much of it, or the distant and the close. He knows and creates all of them with the same ease.
