But here we are checked by the third conception, that of the Infinite. How can the Infinite become that which it was not from the first 1 If causation is a possible mode of existence, that which exists without causing is not infinite, that which becomes a cause has passed beyond its former limits.
Stranica 335 - And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth and in the open firmament of heaven.
