 Scholars used to consider the appeal to continuous creation (point 1) as an independent argument (Garber 1987, Nadler 2010: 123–41). However, this reading is difficult to maintain. Indeed, without the further development provided by the discussion at point 2, what is stated at point 1 remains unproved. Why should it be God himself that has to recreate a moving body in a certain place? Why is there no creature, spiritual or corporeal, which can cause change in the position of a body? As La Forge says, “for if he put it anywhere else there is no force capable of removing it from that location”. But this is a mere assertion, which is proved only at point 2. Evidently, if God has to recreate a body in each of its positions, then nothing can work against God’s force. However, without establishing why God has to do so, the mere appeal to his continuous creation begs the question.
