 We must repeat again, however, that this latter passage is from Conversation with Burman, which was an interview in which Descartes reported his views, and not a primary text that Descartes wrote himself. The view that Descartes puts forward in the passage is very much in line with the texts in which Descartes says that God is simple and immutable, and creates by way of a single unchanging act for all eternity, and indeed it pushes those texts to their logical conclusion. The passage is from an interview, however, and some might worry that it is not fully authoritative.
