God is not a machine; a machine is a programmable entity with simple parts. However, the attributes of God's creations are far more diverse than mere machines. People are unique and complex creatures, capable of emotions and other experiences that machines cannot replicate. Therefore, diversity is an essential part of God's design. This diversity allows us to experience life in all its richness and beauty, something that would be impossible if we were all alike..The divine description of absolute diversity is both physical and metaphysical. Our needs are as diverse as the eternal description of metaphysics. We cannot be satisfied with humanity's description of our diverse needs because they are incomplete. We need a comprehensive description from the divine in order to fully understand and meet our needs. The world is spoken of by God in a way that makes sense of its diversity and unity. The different parts of the world depend on the unity of the whole. If we only trust in a finite description of the world, our image of it is defined by what is lacking from the full description given by God. We cannot accept incomplete facts about diversity.
