Re: [asa] God as Cause

It would not be wrong to say "God caused/causes cosmological evolution to occur" but that would be open to an essentially deist understanding. I.e., God sets the process moving & then lets a whole chain of events take place without further divine involvement. The doctrine of concurrence, however, says that God is continually cooperating with natural processes in everything that takes place in the world.

  Would it be properly expressed to say that God caused/causes cosmological evolution to occur? Or, that the effects of cosmological evolution were/are caused by God?
