Spontaneous Creation?

It seems Richard Dawkin’s new book is creating a stir everywhere. I would have only one question of him: “If spontaneous creation is indeed possible as you assert or even, in the time of eons, a likely thing, why then is not spontaneous dissolution equally possible?”

My answer to him would be that it is! All things are possible in God, Q.E.D.. What’s your answer?

All things in nature have been demonstrated to happen because of a source action, a push, or an irresistible need to act, a pull. I see no such “pull” in the universe to compel a “spontaneous creation,” and if you tell me none need exist, then you are merely defining a miracle. And what does that mean? Are you saying that miracles can and do happen, but “of course” God doesn’t do them?

God lacks nothing; therefore His ongoing acts of creation do not find their origin in any kind of need. Instead, God creates out of sheer love, a love so strong that it gives birth to a universe, to innumerable worlds, to uncountable creatures, to humankind, to each and every one of us.
