Re: [asa] anti-evolutionism and deism

To follow up on all the excellent notes but especially Jon Tandys and
Michaels. I have never figured out if:

1)God established and maintains the laws that we observe
or
2)The laws that we observe are simply the normal (ie usual) way that God
interacts with the universe. Implies that God continually makes
decisions as to how matter-energy and space-time will behave. This
would imply a view of providence that in some matters at least is
extremely particular.

I tend to lean towards #1 but don't have any real solid reasons for that
choice. The Bible does not seem to say anything that applies or at
least I have not found it. Doubt any experiment could tell the
difference and am not sure it matters in any case as I am not a deist.
