Even materialists believe this-- they believe that matter/energy is ultimate reality, which somehow generates its own organizing principle (the "laws of physics.") <br /><br />What I'm not sure of is how Tillich moves from this notion of ultimate reality, to the notion that it is God. Can you explain further?Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08252374623355509404noreply@blogger.com
