NOTE

Is God Omniscient? God as an Evolving Essence in Process Philosophy

God is not a machine or object, but the foundational essence upon which existence is possible, serving as the prime cause that allows for anything to be. Understanding God requires broadening one's perspective to encompass different ways of knowing and various truths beyond mere mechanical facts. God is seen as an evolving essence in process philosophy, embodying an ontological cause and the source of being that is neither deterministic nor completely detached. This view of God as evolving challenges traditional conceptions, such as the idea of a single and unchanging God, offering the concept of a deity that can be both transcendent and imminent in creation, best exemplified by the Christian mythos.
