| Summary: | A defense of William E Carroll has been offered, contending that his metaphysicalist understanding of divine creation - namely the continual conferral of ‘esse’ - is theologically justified. Here, I explain my position that Carroll confuses an ontological dependency of all creaturely things on God as source of all being with a causal dependency that accounts for how they are structured and behave. By contrast, Thomas Aquinas viewed creation as both an event and a process whereby God acts to produce the physical substance and intricate forms of the material world. |
