Very seriously, is there another approach which does justice to God as
Creator? Having looked ,studied, felt and considered other positions I have
found that creation ex nihilo as summed up in thes equestions to be the only
reasonable alternative . All others end up with a God who is not God and a
creator who is not creator. That is not an inherent conservatism as for half
the last 30 years I was not in the evangelical fold!
An panentheist god is no god and I can hear lots of good Sci and Religion
types wanting to jump down my throat or at least first preen their feathers
Regards
Michael
