Abstract
This thesis proposes a radical reframing of divine creation — not as an act of omnipotent authority, but as an act of total and irreversible expenditure. Drawing from biological precedent rather than symbolic theology, it argues that the creator may not have survived creation. Using the life cycle of the eel and the mortality of certain mothers in the animal kingdom as organizing analogies, the model repositions God not as an eternal overseer but as a finite source consumed by the very act of generating existence.Under this model, the universe is not sustained by divine intention. It persists as residue — the structural aftermath of a source that exhausted itself completely. Meaning, morality, and responsibility do not descend from above. They emerge from below, through inheritance following divine expenditure.This thesis does not argue that God does not exist. It argues something more difficult: that God may have existed fully, acted completely, and in doing so, ceased to exist in any form capable of response. Existence, in this view, is not supervised. It is inherited.
