The God it purports to deliver is a necessary being. His existence is a truth of pure logic, a tautology. But tautologies are empty propositions. Since they are true regardless of how reality is, they are devoid of explanatory content. How could such a tautological divinity be the fons et origo of the contingent world we see around us? How could a tautology exercise free will in creating it? The gap between necessity and contingency is no less difficult to bridge than the gap between being and nothingness.
