George,
A long time ago you wrote the above note. It seems to me that it makes
little difference if we posit that God intervenes at the quantum level, or
the classical level, or that he rides in on the wings of a storm. All of
these are part of the natural order. The interface between God and creation,
no matter how small or how great, is still _terra incognito_, isn't it? In
that regard it seems to me that constantly acting providence is as hard to
explain in scientific terms as is the miracle of turning water into wine.
So what is the advantage of a quantum level explanation?
Bob
