Inhaltsangabe

A rigorous defense of divine governance over the material world, challenging the idea that mechanism alone can explain nature. This edition clarifies the premises about matter, power, and the role of the Creator.

Drawing on foundational questions from earlier work, it presents a careful examination of space, duration, and the nature of motion. The goal is to show that immaterial power acts upon matter, and that the universe is governed by a consistent, theistic framework rather than impersonal forces alone.

• Reassesses the claim that matter is an inert substance with no active power.


• Argues that the Deity’s power is the direct source of natural order, not a set of secondary causes.


• Critiques mechanistic explanations in physics and natural philosophy with precise reasoning.


• Offers a framework for understanding gravity, motion, and space without surrendering to strict materialism.
