Special Case Event:
“Now there is, in the universe, a vast order. It never lets you down. I throw a coin in the air and it returns and hits the floor every time. Nature is never at a loss what to do when she takes over after you and I sign off. Nature never vacillates in her decisions. The rolling oceans cover three-fourths of the Earth. Along the beaches, the surf is continually pounding on the shore. No two successive local surf poundings have ever been the same, nor will they ever be the same. They typify the infinitude of individualism of every special-case event in the universe. While there is great music in the pounding of the surf, as the infinite creative integrity of the universe is manifest, I cannot identify man, who hears this music, as the creator. I therefore do not use the word ‘creativity’ in man’s employment of a priori infinite variety.”
