Defenders LIVE! // Doctrine of Creation Part 6: Objections To Creation Out Of Nothing

Defenders LIVE! // Doctrine of Creation pt: 6: Objections to creatio ex nihilo //

Today we want to consider objections to the doctrine of creatio ex nihilo. Objections to this doctrine may take the form of either objections to the ex nihilo part of the formula or to the creatio part of the formula. Objections to the ex nihilo part say that creation cannot be ex nihilo. It is impossible to create something ex nihilo. While objections to the creatio part of the formula contend that coming into being ex nihilo is easy and therefore there's no need for creatio. So these objections are polar opposites, and yet you find both of them pressed against creatio ex nihilo.

June 30, 2024 • William Lane Craig

// Arminian & Molinist Accounts of Divine Sovereignty and Human Freedom // In our study of divine providence we've looked critically at the Calvinist view of providence, and I offered a five-point critique last Sunday of that reconciliation of divine sovereignty and human freedom. Today we want to turn our attention to the Arminian account of divine sovereignty and human freedom on the basis of God's foreknowledge of the future.
