=== Pandeism ===
{{Main|Pandeism}}
Pandeism or pan-deism (from {{langx|grc|πᾶν|pan|all}} and {{langx|la|[[deus]]}} meaning "[[god]]" in the sense of [[deism]]) is a term describing beliefs coherently incorporating or mixing [[logic]]ally reconcilable elements of pantheism (that "God", or a metaphysically equivalent [[creator deity]], is identical to [[Nature]]) and [[Deism#Enlightenment Deism|classical deism]] (that the creator-god who designed the universe no longer exists in a status where it can be reached, and can instead be confirmed only by reason). It is therefore most particularly the belief that the creator of the universe actually became the universe, and so ceased to exist as a separate entity.<ref>{{cite book |title=The History of Science: A Beginner's Guide p. 90 |author=Sean F.

Through this [[synergy]] pandeism claims to answer primary objections to deism (why would God create and then not interact with the universe?) and to pantheism (how did the universe originate and what is its purpose?).
