In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Create a Butterfly Out of Nothing There is a fundamental divide between the human power to reshape and the Divine power to originate . When humanity builds, constructs, or bioengineers, we act strictly as artists working with an inherited medium. The bioengineer editing a strand of DNA or assembling a synthetic cell relies upon pre-existing nucleotide bases, pre-existing subatomic forces, and pre-existing thermodynamic laws. We do not bring forth the fundamental fabric of reality; we merely borrow from a canvas that was stretched across the void long before our arrival. To truly challenge the reality of God Almighty, one must strip away all inherited foundations. We must bypass stem cells, synthetic genomes, molecular biology, and existing chemical elements. We must remove space, time, matter, and energy themselves. The true challenge is this: If God does not exist, create a butterfly out of absolute nothingness. The Metap...

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Creation Ex Nihilo vs Creation ex Deo (Emanation) The debate between Creation Ex Nihilo ("creation out of nothing")  Creation ex Deo ("creation as a divine unfolding/overflowing") forms one of the central divides in global metaphysics.
