15._ Creator

We believe, then, in God, that is one, trascendent, personal, the absolute good, beauty and truth; that He will emerge from the universe like last newness, like perfect accomplishment of His Spirit immanent in the Nature. Speaking in the own time of the universe, we hope that it happens in a future, in a while that is impossible to predict to us, although we suppose that it can be within thousands of million years, although in "human existential time" it can be infinitely distant.

But even though the "threshold" of divine emergence we can try to locate it in a future time, God is trascendent to the time and space; He does not "exists" in a moment future, neither present, nor past; He is "eternal", which usually is expressed saying that "He is, was and will be". He is the culmination of the universe, but He does not belong to the universe, He is not, nor it will be, an "existing being in the universe".

The own time of the universe is a construction of the cosmic process, not an absolute frame of all reality. From the inside of the process --as we are-- we cannot current think but in temporary terms.
Nevertheless, by means of an abstraction effort we can be placed in a point of view that orders the realities "ontologically" (ontic order), instead of "chronologically" (noetic order). Conscious that the time is not a referring absolute but a rather apparent one, we confer more truth to this vision than to the habitual one.

According to it, God is the truest reality, incomparably. God is the reason of being, the final cause, the foundation, of all the temporary realities. According to this vision, which we have called "of return", the truth is that it is God that creates the universe, the process and whichever this one contains. The temporary ordering, that suggests nature creates God, projecting the conception of efficient causality that is inner to the process, is illusory. The process only exists "founded on" God, who is thus truely the subject, not the object, of the Creation.

When we locate the emergence of God in a distant future, which is equivalent to say: "God still does not exist, we are creating him", we are not truly limiting the reality of God, but reflecting the fact of our own poor reality, interior to the process. That of which God appears in our future is a limitation ours, not of God.
