We are not just participating in an already-created universe; we are also participants in the process of creation. And that knowledge carries tremendous moral weight.
Afterthought: Our every action or non action, our every word, our every thought, is creating. Are we contributing to the world we want, the world that could be, should be, and one day will be*, or are we adding to something that will need to be cleaned up by someone else? Will another soul be required to spend their precious, priceless creative energy just to clean up my mess?
* We could call this the Kingdom, the Reign of God, or simply the future.
