 The main conflict with the Islamic theological tradition concerns the eternity of creation. Averroes interpreted Aristotle’s argument of Physics VIII.1 in such a way that the continuity of the first motion was intended instead of motion in generic terms. This allowed him to disable the argument for a limit in the succession of motions and to maintain that the chain of motions is only an accidental manifestation of the eternal motion of the heavenly body. Furthermore, proving the incorporeality of the First Mover is the final contribution to the theological view of the universe, from which natural philosophy cannot be isolated.
