This chapter #3 is comprised of 90 questions and answers.

  	    Why did God command, "Be fruitful, and multiply,
  	and replenish the earth," if all minds (men) have existed
27	from the beginning, and have had successive stages of
  	existence to the present time?

12	By the law of opposites, after the truth of man had been
  	demonstrated, the postulate of error must appear. That
  	this addendum was untrue, is seen when Truth, God,

  	and th...e Lord God never said it. This history of a falsity
21	must be told in the name of Truth, or it would have no
  	seeming. The Science of creation is the universe with man
  	created spiritually. The false sense and error of creation
24	is the sense of man and the universe created materially.
