Thank you for pinging me to this thread, Dear Sister, but, I fear that, although I am both a Christian and a (retired) scientist, I am a bit too opinionated to be comfortable that I can stay within the "ecumenical" bounds that have been imposed here.

As you know, my scientific bent leads me to seek "root causes". And that includes seeking the root cause of why otherwise intelligent believers insist that the creative work and persona of our eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent Creator must be constrained (almost said, "belittled", but, that wouldn't be prudent) to fit within their human measures of time, space, and process.

As such, I am dealing with the motives of believers -- and I perceive such to be "off limits" in this "ecumenical" format. So, I will try to observe -- silently. (Can you imagine how very difficult that is for me?) <LOL!>

You could post it on the parallel non-ecumenical thread, if it were important to you. I just like having civil discussion.
