Could you provide a more complete explanation about what you mean by "agent
causation"? As you have stated it, I don't know how or if it differs from
the standard understanding of providence. The doctrine of providence would
similarly hold that all events and processes in the physical world are
dependent on God for their existence and occur in response to God's will.
