I agree with Bob. However, I would add that the interaction of God with
creation is more than at the interface---it is more penetrating than that. An
example will illustrate what I mean. The creation is like the hydrogen atom,
and God is the electron and the proton plus the interaction that gives
existence to the atom. Moorad
