Presumably what Alexander intends by the incompatibility is that a creature, if its nature is to arise from nothing, must have being after non-being and thus must have the property of finite duration.
His proofs, however, are more Avicennian in character and are part of a larger effort to prove the finite duration of the universe, since, unlike Philip the Chancellor and Alexander Hales, he understands the Aristotelian arguments to constitute a direct and immediate threat to the truth of the Christian doctrine of creation.
Others, such as Philip the Chancellor and Alexander of Hales, doubted that Aristotle ever meant to claim that the world was eternal; rather, he simply adduced proofs that the world could not have arisen out of a process of natural generation.
