How an eternal act could turn into temporal creation?

[kapp19]

Regardless as I mention there is no function which maps a point to infinity so it is logically impossible to convert an eternal cause into temporal effect.

Who is claiming that an “eternal cause” was “converted into [a] temporal effect”? That is indeed impossible.

God’s act is eternal. The creation which is the effect is temporal.

God’s act is eternal. The creation which is the effect is temporal.

God created the world when he chose to do so from his ordaining wisdom and will. God’s will act is eternal but as I said in a previous post, it was not in God’s eternal will that creation be eternal but that he would create it when he willed from eternity to create it.

The act of sustaining the creation is timeless, simultaneous. The manifestation of this act, the creation is temporal which means that it has an extension in time. How such a cause can possibly turn into such an effect?

Because the effect is not the cause. There is no reason to assume that the cause of something would effect an identical manifestation. If it did, then it wouldn’t really be The Cause.

There is no time “when” God decides.

God’s will act is eternal but as I said in a previous post, it was not in God’s eternal will that creation be eternal but that he would create it when he willed from eternity to create it.

I know that God wanted to create the universe. I am wondering how a single cause can turn into many effects.

I didn’t say that cause is effect. I am wondering that how a single cause can turn into many ordered temporal effects. That is a problem since as I argued to other there is no function which can map a point to several points.
