There is a difficult question that is often overlooked in contemporary debates. Why would God create anything at all? The inability to answer this question threatens the cogency of both natural theology and philosophical/systematic theology. I will argue that certain models of God cannot adequately answer this question, and then propose a model of God that can offer a legitimate answer.
