> bbella: David, isn't the pantheist way/spinoza is that God is within and without all that is? That creation is created from God's own essence and is God? If so, why would God need to tinker/tweak/dabble from without? God is all things, why not just tinker from within that which needed tweaking?-You are right in that God's reach is into everything, and can easily dabble from within when necessary, and is the way I think about it. But at the same time I imagine God as the universal consciousness at a quantum level, (whatever that means exactly), because quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics are so counterintuitive. Then using the aspect of non-locality, it can be obviously thought that God is everywhere all the time. At the same time, as I have pointed out to dhw, God works through evolutionary processes in forming the universe and creating all forms of life. However he allows adaptation triggered by the organisms themselves. That creates variations that may not achieve God's goals, and that is when he must step in or reach in.
