Descartes on Procreation and Creation

Descartes believed that divine creation was more like procreation than just a builder sort of activity. Siris quotes the responses to the 5th objection to support this view of Descartes. It's noted that:

"I found the insistence that procreation is a better analogy for creation than production an interesting one."

Me, too, because with this view of creation flesh is redeemed.
