Demonstration of the Will of God and the Impossibility of Matter

A fragmentary critique addresses the book Demonstration of the Will of God by the Light of Nature, arguing against its claim that matter is eternal. It argues God cannot fill space like a material body, rejects incorporeal solidity, and contends creation from nothing requires a passive material substrate. It questions finite reason as a limit on divine infinity and defends God’s absolute power beyond human conceptions.
