Swerve and Ex Nihilo
Swerve is spontaneous, but not ex nihilo. For, it presupposes a given condition with respect to which it is a variation. In other words, what Swerve causes is a Modification, not a mere Effect, which is logically independent of pre-conditions. Thus, Swerve cannot be the handiwork of an omnipotent deity, since it entails a constraint upon the power of the latter. Hence, even if Swerve were deified, it could not be the ex nihilo creator of the Biblical tradition.
