Classical Christian theology holds that a transcendent Creator called life into being out of nothingness by an act of divine will, and governs the universe from outside creation-all-powerful, timeless and unchangeable. But Whitehead argued that a dynamic world could not have a static Creator who was exempt from the maturation experienced by finite beings. He therefore proposed that God, the source of all unactualized possibilities, was constantly creating within the universe. Thus God, like all other beings, is in some aspects incomplete and is man's companion on the creative advance toward perfection...

When Dale Messick included a Negro girl among a group of teenagers in Brenda Starr, the syndicate rubbed her out for fear of offending Southern readers. When Milt Caniff used the Air Force slang word abort (to cancel) in Steve Canyon, the syndicate figured it came too close to abortion...
