I see, so you don't actually mean act and potency as relayed by aristotle...but the christian god? I don't think that the christian god is a good fit for the first cause, if there was a first cause...mostly since it's fiction.
Perhaps you could explain to me how you equate the hypothetical prime mover with the christian god?
