Re: R.C.’s Re: “Magical Thinking”:
Excuse me, but is it not what _Deists_ have ever been saying?
Aren’t Theists a bit more particular about the specifics of God’s manifestations here and now (or yesterday) and His partaking in current events?
Christian NT even says He actually walked the Earth – in the Flesh. Seems to me controversial enough – a far cry from the abstract Deist concept of Him Being There — and Ever, as per the OT name Will/Is/Was — which concept actually looks very comparable with the scientific picture you’ve painted.
Of course we could say Future is already created and God is all of the however locally-deterministic Universe – All that Was, Is and ever Will Be. Now that’s a concept to contemplate!
