An '''anvil''' is a basic [[tool]], a block with a hard surface on which another object is struck. The block is as massive as is [[practical]], because the higher the [[inertia]] of the anvil, the more efficiently it causes the [[energy]] of the striking [[tool]] to be transferred to the work piece. In most cases the anvil is used as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forge forging] tool. Before the advent of modern [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welding welding] technology, it was a primary tool of metal workers.

Because anvils are very [[ancient]] tools and were at one time very commonplace, they have acquired [[symbolic]] meaning beyond their use as utilitarian objects.

The ''hardie hole'' is a square hole into which specialized forming and cutting tools, called hardie tools, are placed. It is also used in punching and bending operations.

The ''pritchel hole'' is a small round hole that is present on most [[modern]] anvils. Some anvils have more than one. It is used mostly for punching. At times, smiths will fit a second tool to this hole to allow the smith more [[flexibility]] when using more than one anvil tool.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anvil]

The [[confusion]] and [[turmoil]] of [[Urantia]] do not signify that the Paradise Rulers lack either interest or [[ability]] to manage affairs [[differently]]. The Creators are [[possessed]] of full [[power]] to make [[Urantia]] a veritable [[paradise]], but such an [[Eden]] would not contribute to the [[development]] of those strong, [[noble]], and experienced [[characters]] which [[the Gods]] are so surely forging out on your world between the ''anvils'' of [[necessity]] and the hammers of anguish. Your [[anxieties]] and [[sorrows]], your trials and [[disappointments]], are just as much a part of the [[divine]] plan on your [[sphere]] as are the exquisite [[perfection]] and [[infinite]] adaptation of [[all things]] to their supreme [[purpose]] on the worlds of the [[Havona|central and perfect universe]].
