Nuggets from Cosmos—Pantheism Won’t Work

Logic alone is sufficient to rule out pantheism, the belief that God created the universe out of Himself and it is therefore equal to God. It could not be an extension of or part of Him, or it would not be subject to the law of entropy. By itself, this fact refutes the idea of the “Star Wars Force” or of any other theory that turns God into unthinking, purposeless energy. By claiming that everything is God, pantheism reduces God to matter that is incapable of thought and is helpless in and of itself. If everything and everyone is God, then nothing is God, because the concept of God has lost its meaning. The only sensible conclusion is that God created everything out of nothing and that the cosmos was, is, and always will be separate and distinct from its Creator.
