当我们思考造物主时，我们推断，祂只能是以下三种情况之一：被其他事物所造，同时既是造物者又是被造者，或是永恒自存的。被造意味着有限，因而属于受造物之列，因此不是终极的造物主。一物既在造作自身，同时又已存在，这是荒谬的。

When we contemplate upon the Creator, we deduce that it can only be either of three things; Created by something else, Creator and created at one and the same time, or eternal self-subsisting. To be created means that it is limited and therefore part of the creation and therefore not the ultimate Creator. It is absurd that something can be creating itself and exist at the same time.

因此，造物主只能是永恒的，不依赖于任何时间或空间中的任何事物。这种永恒或无限的属性，我们无法完全感知；人是有限的，不能感知一切。如果我们听到敲门声，我们会强烈地感觉到门外有人，但我们不知道是谁，只能加以揣测。对造物主的本质或描述进行揣测并非必要，而且只会徒劳无益。我们所关心的是证明造物主的存在，而不是揣测那位造物主的详细描述，因为无论如何，那已超出了我们的理解范围。

Therefore the Creator can only be eternal and not dependant on anything in any time or space. This attribute of eternity, or of infinity cannot be fully perceived by us, man is limited and cannot perceive everything. If we hear a knock at the door, we have a strong feeling that there is someone behind the door, but we do not know who, we can only speculate. To speculate upon the essence or description of the Creator is not necessary, and can only be unproductive. We are concerned to prove the existence of a Creator, rather than speculate upon that Creators detailed description which is in any event beyond us.

对于我们生活中如此重要之事，渴望获得更深的理解是十分自然的。要更深入地理解我们无法感知的事物，而我们无法感知的，是无限且完全独立的存在，这就要求我们只从那位造物主处寻求可以核实的信息。对造物主进行臆测，只会导致痛苦与错误，因为未知之事不可能靠我们有限的头脑推断出来。

The desire for greater understanding of something so important in our lives is only natural. To gain greater understanding of something we cannot perceive, and we cannot perceive something that is infinite and totally independent, requires that we seek only verifiable data from that Creator. To speculate about the Creator can only lead to misery and error as the unknown cannot be deduced by our limited minds.

此外,我们尚未探讨那个全面的问题:人是什么、生命是什么、宇宙是什么,生命之前是什么,生命之后是什么,以及这一切之间的关系是什么。对这个全面问题的回答,将作为一切与生命相关的子问题的基础或信条,并作为人所实行的一切复杂生活体系的依据:社会制度、经济制度、政治制度、外交政策、司法制度等等。简言之,它将阐明人生的真正目的,并为真正的进步指明方向。

Further, we have not yet addressed the comprehensive question; of what is man, life, and the universe, what was before the life and what was after it, and what is the relationship between them all. The answer to this comprehensive question will act as the basis, or creed for all sub problems relating to life, and act as the reference for all the complex systems of life that man implements; social systems, economic, political, foreign policy, judicial, etc. In short this will explain mans very purpose in life, and give us direction for true progress.

到目前为止，我们已经考察了造物主的存在；那么，人与造物主之间的关系是什么？人与人、人与生命之间的相互关系又是什么？造物之后又将如何？

So far we have examined the existence of a Creator, what is the relationship with the Creator? and interrelationships with man, life, and what is after creation?
