Outside Natural Progression

“You have to go outside the sequence of engines, into the world of men, to find the real originator of the Rocket. Is it not equally reasonable to look outside Nature for the real Originator of the natural order?” C. S. Lewis Who Was RightDream Lecturer or Real Lecturer published as Two Essays in God in the Dock: Essays on Theology and Ethics

Lewis is refuting the argument that a self-creating Universe is as plausible as an uncreated creator. In other words, to posit an uncreated Universe, one begins with no natural order and no laws of physics to drive the evolutionary process. An uncreated creator is the originator of order and natural progression.

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
