If the transition is in time, God was already temporal before creation; if outside time, the transition is causally unintelligible, so either way the two-phase model is logically unstable.

No one has weighed in yet. Be the first to share reasons for or against this statement.

Temporal(as describing a framework that includes time): Relating to time or how things change over time.
causally unintelligible(describing a transition that happens outside of time and therefore has no clear causal explanation): Something that cannot be understood or explained in terms of cause and effect; it makes no sense when you try to figure out what caused it.
creation(Contrasted with generation; the 'newness of the world' depends on creation having occurred.): The origination of the world or a being without dependence on pre-existing matter; the bringing into existence of something from nothing.
logically unstable(describing why both possible interpretations of the two-phase model fail philosophically): A position or argument that contains internal contradictions or problems that make it impossible to hold without accepting a logical impossibility.
