Hello Stephen,

You claim:

Using your line of argument here, does this mean that I should employ
this category of "an interventionistic God from Genesis to Revelation" in
my PhD thesis where I am constructing a dentition development model for
lower tetrapods? Dare I ask the statistian to include a "Delta-Theta
Factor" (ie, change in God's activity) in our formulas? Or if I don't
include such a category, does it mean that because I am only looking for
naturalistic mechanisms in my model that I am failing the
"interventionistic God from Genesis to Revelation"?

As always,
Denis
