Thus, Spinozism, in spite of the absurdity of its fundamental idea, argues more consistently than the creation theory can, when beings assumed to be substances, and beings in themselves existing in time, are regarded as effects of a Supreme Cause, and yet as not [belonging] to Him and His action, but as separate substances.
Horregatik, espinozismoak, oinarrizko ideiaren zentzugabekeria alde batera utziz, sorkuntzaren teoriaren arabera baino hobeto arrazoitzen du, non substantzia gisa onartzen diren eta bere baitan denboran existitzen diren zerizanak kausa goren baten eragin gisa ikusten diren, eta aldi berean, ordea, ez diren ikusten hari eta haren ekintzari lotuta, baizik eta bere kabuz diren substantzia gisa.
