Creation has neither beginning nor end. God has always been creating. The universe is an emanation of God's will. Physical and spiritual evolution are ongoing processes.

Teachings of Bahá'u'lláh and progressive revelation from all prophets.

To know and worship God, carry forward an ever-advancing civilization, and develop spiritual qualities. The soul progresses eternally toward God.

Suffering is a catalyst for spiritual growth and the development of virtues. Tests and trials polish the mirror of the soul. Evil is the absence of good, not an independent force.

Eschatologies of prior religions are interpreted symbolically. 'End times' means the end of one religious dispensation and the beginning of the next through a new Manifestation of God. No literal apocalypse. Progressive cycles of revelation continue.
