This episode of "Catechism in a Year" podcast focuses on Day 40's reading, paragraphs 279-284, exploring the concept of God as Creator. Fr. Mike Schmitz discusses the significance of understanding God's role as creator, highlighting the importance of the questions "Where do we come from?" and "Where are we going?" He contrasts the scientific "how" and "what" with the faith-based "who" and "why," emphasizing that a belief in a Creator God is necessary for the existence of free will and morality. The episode concludes by reiterating that God's creation was purposeful, intended for humanity to have a relationship with Him and ultimately achieve eternal life. The podcast uses the example of atheism's inability to explain morality without a creator God.
