==God and the World relationship ==
Whitehead's classical statement is a set of [[Antithesis|antithetical statements]] that attempt to avoid self-contradiction by shifting them from a set of oppositions into a contrast:

* It is as true to say that God is permanent and the World fluent, as that the World is permanent and God is fluent.
* It is as true to say that God is one and the World many, as that the World is one and God many.
* It is as true to say that, in comparison with the World, God is actual eminently, as that, in comparison with God, the World is actual eminently.
* It is as true to say that the World is immanent in God, as that God is immanent in the World.
* It is as true to say that God transcends the World, as that the World transcends God.
* It is as true to say that God creates the World, as that the World creates God.<ref>Whitehead, Process and Reality, Corrected Ed. (New York: The Free Press, 1978), 348.</ref>
