Read the excerpts below and answer the question that follows: 14. behold, i answer to him who asks, “what was god doing before he made heaven and earth? ” i answer not, as a certain person is reported to have done facetiously (avoiding the pressure of the question), “he was preparing hell,” says he, “for those who pry into mysteries.” it is one thing to perceive, another to laugh these things i answer not. for more willingly would i have answered, “i know not what i know not,” than that i should make him a laughing stock who asks deep things, and gain praise as one who answers false things. but i say that thou, our god, art the creator of every creature; and if by the term “heaven and earth” every creature is understood, i boldly say, “that before god made heaven and earth, he made not anything. for if he did, what did he make unless the creature? ” and would that i knew whatever i desire to know to my advantage, as i know that no creature was made before any creature was made” (excerpts from confessions, book xi- augustine). and life also belongs to god; for the actuality of thought is life, and god is that actuality; and god’s self-dependent actuality is life most good and eternal. we say therefore that god is a living being, eternal, most good, so that life and duration continuous and eternal belong to god; for this is god.( aristotle) identify the common idea the two philosophers share about god: a. god is good. b. god created everything and is eternal. c. god only came into being when the universe did. d. god can only be seen in good acts.
