والعالم قد يتصور موجودا، ثم يطلب بالبرهان ثبوت الصانع
The world may be conceived as existing, after which one seeks a proof of its maker.
The objection asks whether the mind's ability to discuss the world before proving the creator establishes independence of the world from its creator.
Forming a concept and establishing reality are different acts. A person may understand a thing and only later investigate its cause. The logical or temporal order of our investigation does not imply that the object actually exists without its cause.
