An objection to the claim that creation can be reasoned have been created by other matter. Why therefore, there stands a reason to believe that there is a God who created all thing ex nihilo - out of nothing:
If there was a time when there was nothing but matter, there could be no beginning of motion because there is nothing self-moving; and if there be no beginning of motion there can be no [other creation]. Matter cannot therefore originate anything. Locke argues that inert matter, having no self-motion, can no more produce motion than nonentity can produce entity. If, in reply, the materialist should postulate an eternal motion along with an eternal matter, Locke replies that even if his postulate should be conceded, matter and material motion could no more produce mind and mental motion or thought and will than nothing could produce something. Incogitative being, he says, cannot originate cogitative being. Matter cannot create mind.
