The Personal Being who designed and created the universe.
(B.)Two of God's Attributes.
Wisdom and Power. He is also Omnipresent.
(C.) The Objection that God is Unknowable.
This is partly true; but everything is unknowable in its real nature, though in each case the partial knowledge we can obtain is all we require.
(D.) Summary of Argument.
The position in the argument at which we have now arrived is this. We showed in the last chapter that the Creator designed the universe; in other words, that when he created it, He foreknew its future history. And from this the next step, as to the existence of God, is quite plain; in fact, it is merely a question of words.
(A.) Meaning of the term God.
Now any being who is able to design we will call a personal being. And God is the name given to the Personal Being who designed and created the universe.
But it ought to be noticed, before we pass on, that the term personal being is also applied to man, and is said by many writers to involve the three ideas of thought, desire, and will. But these seem to be all included in design; for if I design anything, I must first of all think of it, then wish it, and then accomplish it.
