   Let this, then, be our invocation of the Gods, to which I add an exhortation of myself to speak in such manner as will be most intelligible to you, and will most accord with my own intent. First then, in my judgment, we must make a distinction and ask, What is that which always is and has no becoming; and what is that which is always becoming and never is? That which is apprehended by intelligence and reason is always in the same state; but that which is conceived by opinion with the help of sensation and without reason, is always in a process of becoming and perishing and never really is. Now…

   No, God is the onlogical source from which the entire hierarchy, corporeal, psychic, noetic gets its existence moment by moment through vertical causality. or Smith putting God inside the temporal process suggesting God changes or suffers like Whitehead does. That's a catastrophic metaphysical error. It's confusing the creator with the creation. It blurs the infinite difference between the absolute source and everything that merely receives being from that source. God is the cause, not part of the effect. Exactly. The ultimate transcendent cause. And because God is being itself, Smith also cal…

   That is a very very important point. This is true in life and it's true in the cosmos as a whole. So we've got context, we've got relation, we've got creativity. This is present throughout the cosmos. And I believe it is also somehow directed towards something that was hugely accelerated in the in once life began on earth and I can only speak about that because we don't know about life anywhere else but that it seems to tend towards is enormously varied and can't be simply summed up in any way but it does seem to have an interest in both complexity and beauty. And what I think the animate enab…

   Without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Then later in the same chapter, John writes, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only son who came from the father full of grace and truth." This opening of the book of John may rightly be considered the genesis of the New Testament since the opening lines are very similar to that of Genesis 1, which also describes how God created all things. And G…

   3.1 Creation Muslim theologians and philosophers, with rare exceptions, agreed that God is a creator and that the cosmos’ existence is in some way causally dependent or grounded upon God. (Ibn Rush, who follows Aristotle and denies that God is strictly an efficient cause of the world, is clearly an outlier.) What was at issue among these thinkers, and where there was virulent disagreement, was the nature of this causal dependence and grounding. There were three competing models to explain God’s divine creative act. Many, but not all, philosophers viewed the world as emanating or flowing ( faya…

   For example, it is possible to hold that humans are caused by God without holding that humans have something of God in them. In such a case, there is a causal relationship, but not an ontological one. For Astell, though, humans are not just Divinely caused, they are also Divinely imbued. Thus humans are in both causal and ontological relationships with God. 1.3.3 Ethical Relationship According to Astell, in addition to being in causal and ontological relationships with God, they are also in an ethical relationship with God: they are to love God. (Additional ethical and theological ramification…

M >> in other words any new knowing is a creation is not a combination of stuff is a new creation. >> That's where creation comes from. >> Yeah. And and and sort of physics the the metaphor physics gives us is the collapse of the wave function. >> Yeah. >> Because that's potentiality and when we want to gain knowledge we have to collapse and then we have a particle. >> Yeah.

   All change and process belong to creation, which flows from this static perfect source, not the source itself. That difference process versus static being seems like the absolute core distinction that everything else flows from. How does it affect their view of time? Hugely. For Whitehead, God has a temporal aspect. The consequent, nature evolves with the world in time, absorbing new experiences. So God journeys through time with creation. For Smith, God is eternal and timeless, completely outside of time. The whole timeline, past, present, future, is just simultaneously present to God in one …

    Each one building on the last one. Yeah. It's a constant flowing stream creating the very fabric of reality. Not static stuff, but a dynamic unfolding of experience influencing the next experience. That's a very different picture of the universe. So where does God fit into this dynamic process driven reality? Is God somehow exempt from these rules standing outside the flow or is God part of this cosmic dance too? And that is one of Whitehead's most radical and I think brilliant insights. God in his system is not an exception to these rules. In fact, Whitehead says God is the chief exemplificat…
