==God and the World relationship == Whitehead's classical statement is a set of [[Antithesis|antithetical statements]] that attempt to avoid self-contradiction by shifting them from a set of oppositions into a contrast: * It is as true to say that God is permanent and the World fluent, as that the World is permanent and God is fluent. * It is as true to say that God is one and the World many, as that the World is one and God many. * It is as true to say that, in comparison with the World, God is actual eminently, as that, in comparison with God, the World is actual eminently. * It is as true to say that the World is immanent in God, as that God is immanent in the World. * It is as true to say that God transcends the World, as that the World transcends God. * It is as true to say that God creates the World, as that the World creates God.<ref>Whitehead, Process and Reality, Corrected Ed.
