Helmut, List: I am not sure exactly what you are asking. Theism does not so much maintain that the universe is God's *property *as that it is God's *creation *(from nothing). As such, it is *contingent *being and thus distinct from God's *necessary *being, as affirmed by Peirce; not an organically connected *part *of God that is somehow *within *God's being, as maintained by panentheism.
