We Believe that God Created the World according to his Wisdom. 141 It is not the product of any necessity whatever, nor of blind fate or chance. We believe that it proceeds from God's free will; he wanted to make his Creatures Share in his being, wisdom and Goodness: "For you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created." 142 Therefore the Psalmist exclaims: "O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all"; and "The LORD is good to all, and his comPassion is over all that he has made." 143 God creates "out of Nothing"
