Apologists then recognize a necessary consequence of God’s independence from a dimension of duration: God is unchanging. Which leads to an inconsistency that can be laid out in a syllogism, much like the cosmological argument itself.
- Premise 1: Everyone that acts, changes from a state of inaction to action.
- Premise 2: If there is a creator of the universe, that creator acted when creating the universe.
- Conclusion: Therefore, if a creator of the universe exists, that creator changed.
The apologist is left arguing for a God with attributes in conflict with the implications of their argument.
Indeed, the God of the Old Testament frequently seems to change his mind, does things he later regrets, etc. Hardly consistent with a being existing outside of time.
ReplyDeleteThe problem that an act of creation is inherently a form of change for the creative agent is not one which would have occurred to the goat-herding hicks who wrote the Old Testament. Such problems arose from exposure to philosophy and logic as they had developed in the more advanced civilizations of the era (Greece, Babylon).
It's a special case of the fact that an entity with more than one absolute attribute is logically impossible, because any absolute can be shown to be in conflict with any other. This is revealed as soon as philosophical logic is applied to the incoherent mythology of primitives. Given what we now know about the universe, any conscious entity which created it as Genesis describes would need to be beyond human comprehension. Fortunately, as Hawking and Krauss have shown, no such entity need be postulated.

I came across your thought-provoking blog post discussing the concept of an unchanging God, and it's fascinating to explore such philosophical and theological ideas.
ReplyDeleteOn a different note, if you ever find yourself in need of a convenient way to sell an old vehicle in the Sunshine Coast area, you might want to consider "Cash For Cars Sunshine Coast." They offer a straightforward solution for selling unwanted cars, making the process hassle-free.
Thank you for sharing your insightful thoughts, and I look forward to reading more from your blog!
