Deity, Perfection, Creation

Remaining unexplained in the traditional concept of a perfect creator is the process of creation beyond it.  Furthermore, insofar as, as is generally held to be the case, creatures are inferior to creator, i. e. are imperfect, the process of creation can only be one of ontological diminishment.  In contrast, though Schopenhauer appreciates it as such less than Nietzsche does, the jettisoning of that creator as a Life-Principle, and replacing it with the Species, entails a liberation from that two-fold onus of Perfection.  In other words, the creative process can henceforth be explained as the Growth of pecies, i. e. as an increase both numerically and ontologically.  Likewise, though Schopenhauer experiences that process as a depressing imposition, Nietzsche is elevated by the exuberance.
