	Contingency of Creation
		Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century expanded Augustine's cosmological argument for God's existence to include the logical sub-thesis that "contingent things demand a non-contingent Being." A non-contingent Being is required as their source, or else contingency of origin keeps extending backward indefinitely, and as their functional correlative, or else there is a vacuous determinism.
		In essence this study on the "contingency of creation" is an attempt to apply Einstein's "theory of relativity" to a Christian understanding of cosmology and theology.
		The contingency of creation is being ever more clearly documented and explained as science observes the evidence for the "singularity" of the origin and commencement of the universe.

		In other words, to conceive of gender as a contingent identity is not to say that gender doesn't matter, but nor is it to suggest that we lack agency in relation to the complex configurations of gender possibilities.
		Contingency is harnessed to Rorty's attempt to ground solidarity in something other than an empty call to "our common humanity," namely in a specific identity, activity or affiliation that we both participate in.

		So powerful are the effects of contingency that a small change in the early stages of a sequence can produce large effects in the later stages.
		The uncertainty, of our past and unpredictability of our future created by contingency is what makes this such a challenging idea to historians and scientists, whose models and laws call for a search for unifying generalities, not capricious happenstances.
