Joel,
How about regular/irregular or ordinary/extraordinary?
TG
>Loren Wilkinson's excellent essay in "Darwin Defeated: The
>Johnson-Lamoureux Debate on Biological Origins" made the point that
>the terms natural and supernatural come from the
>enlightenment. Following C.A. Coulson (the person to coin "God of the
>Gaps"), Wilkinson argues that a fuller Christian view sees that everything
>we see reflects miracle in a very real sense, but the sense of miracle
>is diminished because we are used to seeing it. For example the idea
>of supernatural versus natural is foreign to the psalms which see
>God providing rain, snow, etc.
>
>Having become conscious of the inappropriateness of these terms, I am
>finding that I lack a vocabulary with which to replace them. How do we
>construct a more Christian way of looking at and speaking about
>Creation?
