- He didn't accept any justification for the conclusion that God caused the universe to begin
- it is not valid to extend the knowledge that we posses to questions that transcend our experience
- God would be a casual being outside space and time as we understand it
- There fore it would be impossible to have any knowledge of what god created or of god himself
- transcendent idealist - all arguments are speculative
