To obviate this contradiction, Russell Stannard,physicist, and others want a two category classification of origins or contingency and creation or necessary being ,but that is begging the question as regards to the second category. It would not do to aver that the second is metaphysical whereas the first is physical, for the begged question is still there. The god notion is redundant and otiose .
