If this formational history is without constant divine control, it is
deism. If all holds together by the constant attention of the Son, who
also brought it into being, then the results are divinely guided without
new creative interventions. This appears to be the situation from the
origin of life through its evolutionary differentiation. It cannot apply
to human life if each human soul is created--Roman Catholic dogma widely
accepted by others. It is problematic with traducianism, for soul is not
a physical entitity, but had to have been added to a non-ensouled entity.
Only if soul or mind is a pure product of brain does this fit the whole.

Thanks to Douglas & Jim for this constructive criticism of the Robust
Formational Economy Principle -- The formational economy of the universe
is sufficiently robust (amply equipped) to bring about the actualization
of every kind of physical structure and living organism that has appeared
in the universešs formational history without need for any supplemental
acts of divine form-imposing intervention.
