The
other possibility, the evocation of the transcendent good — grace, beauty, God — through the hard temporal realities of individuals in action is much harder to carry off, as evidenced in Greene's The Power and the Glory, Charles Williams» Descent

Planet, Tolstoy's Resurrection, and perhaps most poignantly in the dismal failure of most literary attempts to portray the central mystery, the life of Jesus — Kazantzakis» The Greek Passion, Faulkner's A Fable, or — most dismal of all, historical novels about Jesus (what could be less hidden?)

He theorized (and this is put very basically mind you all, so please correct me if I get something drastically wrong) that since the stars and

other bodies in space do not collide
into one another as chaos would prescribe, and since they are set so perfectly apart that their gravity doesn't pull them
into one another, there must be something that set it up perfectly to not allow that.
