How does God direct the
creation to His desired ends?
Various models for GodŐs action
have been proposed, of which some follow. These are not mutually exclusive, so
individuals may hold more than one.
God is actively directing
ALL natural processes ALL the time so that all physical events
are specifically willed by Him.
God gave, and continues to
give, being to a creation gifted with all the capabilities
to bring forth all the forms, processes, and events
willed by Him.
Creation responds to GodŐs
will as our bodies respond to ours. However, GodŐs being is not embodied in
creation but is transcendent over
it.
God acts to determine the
inherent indeterminacies of physical events, at the
micro level of quantum phenomena and at the macro level of
chaotic systemsÉ
