Natural Laws vs. God's Actions

[ribozyme]

I understand that my idea (thanks for explaining that it isn’t a theory) isn’t useful to most Christians. I think to really understand that it isn’t deceptive, you have to spend a lot of time imagining existing beyond spacetime with God… it probably isn’t really possible for humans to fully imagine that, but I’ve found that from this perspective it actually makes sense and doesn’t seem like deception. Anyway, it isn’t my goal try to convince you or others of it.

Would you mind directing me to the thread where that idea came up yesterday?

Here’s a hint: I started the thread…

I think human consciousness is something that won’t be explained through mechanical laws of science. Perhaps a new branch of science will emerge that can give an understanding of consciousness, but I don’t think it will be based on physics, simply because the properties that physical objects have aren’t the same kinds of properties as consciousness is.

I agree that the ability of the human mind to know itself may well be limited. That does not of course eliminate my statement. Development of a God of the gaps is not a smart move, and I’m by far not the first to say so.
