The presbyter, a disciple of the apostles, expressed himself in the same 
way concerning the two covenants, showing that both came from one and the 
same God and that there is no other God except him who created and formed 
us. The argument of those who maintain that this world surrounding us was 
made by an angel or by any other kind of power, or by another god, has no 
basis at all, for once a person is driven away from the creator of all 
things and concedes that the world in which we live was made by another or

through another, he has to fall into many absurd and contradictory
notions; 
he will not be able to render an account either of the probability of
these 
or of their truth.
