[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 4414461, member: 65823"] To be contingent means that a being cannot account for its own existence. A contingent being is dependent upon something or someone other than itself for its own existence. This would be true for its coming into existence and remaining in existence from one moment to the next. You and I are such a being. Our existence was originated from outside ourselves, and our existence continues from outside ourselves. A non-contingent being is one that does not depend upon any other being for its existence. It is self-existent. Since it could neither come into existence nor pass out of existence, such a being is eternal. [B]In the beginning [/B][when nothing contingent at all existed][B], God [/B][a non-contingent Being][B] created the heavens and the earth[/B]” [/QUOTE]
