by wikipedia on 2005-03-26 05:43:24The "no motivation" argument states that if god is omnipotent, then he would not be motivated to act in any way, specifically creating the universe, since God would have anything God wanted in infinite amounts and would have no desires since there is no reason for God to have any. Since the universe exists, there is a contradiction and an omnipotent God cannot exist.

"God would have anything God wanted" presumes that God could want something. That something could look like the universe. You cannot conclude from this that God wants nothing, nor that a God without motivation could not 'create' anything, whether or not it was 'desired' by God.

ascribing motivations to anything that can be named God is probably unwise in the first place, and extensive arguments on such premises which invoke infinities carry almost no weight.
