C. We have no instance demonstrating that something can be created from nothing, and furthermore, we cannot even imagine how that could occur. D.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

This para jumble clearly states that the world had no need of being created. But that doesn't mean that A forms the beginning statement instead it is the concluding statement because of the word 'Therefore'. Only D starts the paragraph. Out of B and C, B explains C, so B is to follow C. Hence, the correct sequence is met in option (4).
