Hell

[Faith No More]

The understanding that God is a "foundation" comes from the notion that God is a necessary being and the Creator. Given these things, everything that exists either does so because of God's nature, character or (at least ultimately) His will. Very, very broadly, I think the categories we cannot help but think in (those of being, logic, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics...) can be shown to have a direct correspondence of some sort (which may be fleshed out in different ways) to God's attributes, who God is and God's purpose for Creation as taught by the Christian Scriptures.

I understand the belief that the cosmos needs a creator but then who created him? If God has always existed, thus not needing a creator, why does the cosmos need a creator? The cosmos could very well be cyclical, destroying and creating itself over and over, creating what we percieve as space and time. Just like a circle it has no begining or end. But then who created the circle? When answering that with God, it is assumed that the circle must need a creator but God doesn't. Why is that? I am considerably stumped at understanding why God doesn't necessitate a cause but the cosmos does.

As for how I come to the conclusion that the Christian metaphysic is correct, I have said before that I do not reason to God but from God. I accept the Christian epistemological account of belief in God as basic (as made possible by God's self-revelation) and from that basic belief that the Christian metaphysical account of the existence and nature of the world (contingent beings, laws of logic, knowledge, morality, beauty, etc.) is true. I would reject the Christian metaphysic if it were demonstrated either that the Christian metaphysic is inconsistent or incoherent, or if a non-Christian metaphysic adequately explained the existence and nature of the world.

What do you mean by Christian metaphysic?
