Since reading Hegel I've slowly been developing the idea that creation is Not-God, a vast nothingness absent his presence. The universe contrasts with human life as cold, impersonal, implacable and living nature is 'red in tooth and claw.' It turns out that this is an obvious first take on the subject which almost everyone realises before me. In church today, the minister pointed out that the creation is 'independent.' This becomes obvious from the first act of creation: Let there be light... The whole creation except humans are built this way.
Letting is a negative act. Its making room, allowing something to express itself.
So when atheists insist this is the world without God, I have some sympathy.
