> Why do you have to proclaim what he is, when nature already defined him as what he is? Can you add any new information to reality? No. So why do you claim ownership (proCLAIMation) over reality in disregard to this? You’re putting much heavier emphasis on the “*ownership*” aspect than what is commonly intended by “my” usage in these phrases. A person can talk about “my Lord”, for example, and clearly *cannot* mean “ownership. You’re equivocating. > ONE creating ALL; that's impossible aka creation out of nothing. It's the opposite; ALL (potentiality of energy) allowing each ONE (potential) within the act of creating out of ALL offered. Creation requires information first. ALL information doesn't require creation, because ONE cannot add information to existence. Try it. You cannot create anything without using the inspiration of the information already in existence. *Creation ex nihilo* is the best description of what happened in Genesis - not because it’s the *only possible interpretation* of the words, but because everything that “existed” prior to the Creation was Uncreated and Eternal - of an entirely different Order of being. In the Six Days, everything was created that *is* Created, and what’s left is ever-changing forms made out of all the same “stuff”. Some argue matter is eternal, but I believe it has a beginning. Now it’s possible I’m mistaken about that, but it’s either true or it’s not. Everything that *has* a beginning, was created over that six-day period. It may not necessarily be *exactly* a six day period, but the point is that it was a sequence of definite events that occurred, and the exact duration in terms of literal earth-measured days is not what’s significant. This was all *spoken* into existence by the Word of God, the Logos.
