Discourse PArt 5

As a last post on Discourse part 5, I found one last interesting part. On page twenty-five Descartes says this: "But it is certain that the action by which God preserves the world is precisely the same as that by which he created it..." This suggests that God had made everything in existence at one point, in this point that everything must be perfect and understandably functional; in this one shot this creation must all come together and last for an abundant amount of time. The world was put together like a puzzle, piece by piece. To this day, God has his same methods and ways of keeping the world going as his did on day one. Earth does not change, the constants surrounding us are not altered day to day. When we wake up in the morning, each as individuals, home is still home, your keys are right where you left them before you went to bed, the president is still the president, and the sun still rises in the same exact way with each morning. God has the whole universe running on "repeat". Minor things may change over time, but the majority of the bigger things are the same now as when God first made life.
