Re: [asa] An Evolutionary Theory of Right and Wrong

That is to say that He governs and concurs with secondary causes and
other agents in a such a way that the action can be attributed to the
secondary cause. I'm not 100% that I actually believe this, but, in
fact, much of our understanding of the world (science broadly
construed) seems to be consistent with such a "hidden" role for God."

Comments like this (which I have saved) remind me of why I have found
this list valuable over the years.

Thanks, Terry.
