Your view is the same as mine. Chemical engineer here with an interest in quantum physics. A lot of people take the view that God directly created "stuff", as in He literally created the earth or literally put together the universe. My view is a little different -- I think he created the laws of physics (and math itself essentially) in such a way to form everything exactly the way it is now.
It's a much deeper level of creation than most people consider, partly because the laws of physics are generally taken for granted as simply existing on their own.
- rmckayfleming 14y agoGod as a Chaos Theorist is a nice thought.
- Xcelerate 14y agoSee, that's what makes it intriguing. Simple systems can become incredibly complicated over a few iterations very quickly. It is one area that humans are (currently) horrible at predicting -- thus it's barely science if you can only barely predict it. God, almost by definition, would know the results for any chaotic system and can set up the defining parameters to produce a particular output. (Note that this is different than a fine-tuned universe as I am referring to fine-tuned laws rather than natural constants).
