I am an orthodox Christian, ask me a question!

[Darwinian]

If this is indeed correct, is it not possible for there to be more than one and perhaps an infinite number of these entities? And if not, what is preventing this from happening?

What is pure actuality must be one since there is no way for one thing to differ from another in its being unless there is some real potentiality for differentiation. But in a being of pure actuality there is no potential whatsoever. Hence, there there is no real differentiation in it. All of it is one; there cannot be two or more, since neither would really be different from the other in its being and would thus be one, rather than two.

First of all, how strange that you replied twice to a question about whether there could be two

Anyway, if you are saying that there could not be two God's because they would be exactly the same with nothing to differentiate between them this then poses the question about God himself.

The problem is that God must therefore be one way and have one unique characteristic and could never have existed in any other form because, as you state, all other possible God's that may have existed would have been no different from the original thus negating the possibility of any variation.

This would suggest therefore that God had no choice in existing or have any say in the characteristics that he may posses as no matter how many God's may come into existence, they are all exactly the same.

This further suggest that there must have been environmental landscape at play to be able to impose such a strict criteria of conditions forcing this, and any other God's, to be one specific thing and never another.

So, where did this environment with it's rigid God making criteria come from?
