Eric Wielenberg’s two alleged contradictions in my view of God, time, and creation are easily resolved. The first is dissolved by appreciating that God’s power to create the universe is a modal property which God may possess but even if He never in fact exercises that power. The second contradiction evaporates once one adopts a relational view of time.
