> I could be wrong in this, but I think David views the universe and God as an intertwining. God is an organizing force in the universe, but not outside of it. But God is a subtle force--he doesn't "place" things in the universe as the childish God I grew up with.

> When you couple the wonder of life's complexity with all the experiences that people throughout the ages have reported, this view of God is both holistic (pardon the pun) and a unifying consciousness that other beings can sometimes reach and experience. Since God is transcendant throughout the universe, tapping into its... "wavelength" for lack of a better term, explains many if not all the experiences documented by all the other religions.

> This new view of God is simply an adjustment of theology to respond to what science has shown us, -Matt: I am a panentheist. God created the universe and since he pre-existed it, He is both within and without. I use science to lead me to a belief in God, but one that does not fit any pre-existing theology, other than stating there is a God. You are right, God does conform to scientific findings as they study what He produced. I am certainly not sure that He is as perfect in all spheres as they claim.
