The logical necessity of Darkness in Creation
The ontological distinction between the Father (Creator) who is the originating source of the creation, and that which He creates...requires that that which He creates is necessarily inferior to its source.
This is a logical necessity the Father can not avoid...for nothing which is created has inherent self-existence...inherent self-existence being the exclusive attribute or property of the Father (The Triune God - Diety) and is non transferable to the created order or creatures.
This fundamental ontological distinction between the Creator and His creation is a qualitative attenuation, and is an inherent, and necessary property, of the sphere of influence of the created temporal order...wherein He (the Father) determined, according to His good pleasure, that He would reveal His existence and Person to rational creatures, the works of His own hand, that they might marvel at, and in, Him...and He, be glorified in, and through, them.
Darkness was required as a logical necessity...for Light to be distinguished…within the created sphere.
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him...[1 Corinthians 8:6]
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not...[John 1:1-5]
