Science and metaphysics too, providing the latter is viewed as a natural mode
of cognition and is not unconsciously supplemented by theological
knowledge about God's saving action in the history
of redemption, can each from their own angle quite well think
of God as the transcendent
ground of all reality,
of its existence and
of its becoming, as the primordial reality comprising
everything, supporting
everything, but precisely for that reason can not regard him as a partial factor and component in the reality with which we are confronted, nor as a member
of its causal series.
