[asa] RE: [as a] What is exactly is a TE?

Hi Moorad:

At some level God is "involved" in everything, however, natural events
and processes do not require divine intervention. When God introduced
Adam, He did so to bring the world whose sins God "winked at" into a new
era of personal accountability.

If a child picks up a loaded weapon, aims it at a sibling and discharges
it, the consequences are the same for the hapless sibling regardless of
how old the child was who pointed the weapon. A child of three,
however, would not know the consequences of his actions and the state
would not put him on trial. A child of fifteen would be a different
story.

Same thing for human beings. Adam marks the demarkation between
unlawful behavior without eternal consequences and behavior that has God
imposed consequences.

I presume by "cause and effect processes" one means natural events and
processes; therefore, God is not involved. Is that your understanding?
In addition, if God is involved, how do we know that?

 About 7,000 years ago, plus or minus a few hundred. Remember Eve?
