Hi Keith,
sorry I posted and didn't follow through for a few weeks. we run the punk
rock stage at Cornerstone music and Arts festival and got called out early
with little warning.
Thanks for the answer. One thing you said was:
>I personally do not see how God's action in creation could possibly be
>empirically discerned. Seeing God in creation is an act of faith. In
>other words, the answers to your questions lay outside of science
Probably you are right but how can we be sure enough to give up sifting? In
Genesis God calls for the bird and then it comes. The bird is in the mind
of God then in process then in the sky. If this is a revelation about the
nature of reality might there not be some trace of those steps to look for?
Sorry, I know these are vague wishful questions, i just can't help feeling
like something is missing in how we are looking at the details. It is not a
gap or an intervention I miss, something else. Well thanks again. I will
try to think of another angle on what I am getting at that might be more
clear.
