This drawing symbolizes the transcendent alternative to creation and evolution at the heart of Jeffrey Augustine's cosmology. Study the drawing beginning at the upper left-hand corner. There is a diagonal barrier defined by an invisible edge. Behind the edge is Infinity. What we see in the drawing are intelligent," idea-geometries" unfolding from Infinity to form a part of our visible Universe.
In this drawing, Augustine shows a cluster of what he calls "idea-geometries" unfolding into sacred temples of various sorts. The temples in the drawing represent the thousands of contradictory religions of humanity unfolding over time and across the vast expanse of the earth itself. The notion of abstract idea geometries turning into concrete realities speaks to an even deeper mystery in Augustine writings, which mystery concerns incarnation.
