Re: [asa] God as Cause

It may be worth noting that Intelligent Design needs to address the
question just as much as theistic evolution needs to. Unless ID
accepts the "punctuated deism" model in which God only works through
occasional miracles and otherwise is not involved, the role of God in
everyday events is an issue for ID.

It's not hard to find statements in ID writings disavowing the
punctuated deism model, but it's also not hard to find statements
endorsing it (generally implicitly, often in the context of labeling
TE as compromising with materialism).

The Bible has plenty of statements that assert God's involvement in
natural phenomena, but as George pointed out details of a mechanism as
if it were a question of physics are lacking.
