Creation and Conservation

In philosophical theology, "Creation" refers to the belief that God is the initial source of everything in existence, shaping the universe out of nothing through divine will. "Conservation" relates to God's ongoing involvement in upholding and sustaining that creation. While creation marks the beginning, conservation emphasizes that the universe relies on God at every moment to continue existing. Together, these concepts illustrate a relationship where God is both the originator and the sustainer of the universe, highlighting His power, presence, and the ongoing nature of creation as dependent on divine will.
