What is change? How on earth does change work?
Think about it; how can something that doesn't exist suddenly change and suddenly be something that does exist? What does that transition look like? Is it possible to be half existing and half not existing? Or is there no in-between mode, only the existence or non-existence? What moves it from one to another? For it certainly does not move on it's own ... does it?
Perhap that there's the link between the physical and the spiritual. Perhaps it's God who moves everything, who causes change, and in doing so involves Himself constantly in our world.
The ancient Greek philosophers denied that change exists. But change does exist; to quote C.S. Lewis, "to be in time means to change." That's how our universe functions; that's how our God functions. The infinite (God) lives by expressing itself in the ever changing finite (creation and involvment in our world). And in our case, the finite (the creature) lives through the infinite (Creator) carrying it along through infinite finite possibilities (Time, Change).
