Timaeus said: Yet, if we accept Gingerich's account here as a tentative
explanation, clearly God is being mixed up with natural causes.

I respond: This is getting tiresome because you're still not willing to
consider that "causes" can be both "natural" and "of God." You've admitted,
I think, that the "cause" of the birth of a baby is both "natural" and
"God's will." Why can't there be multiple levels of causation elsewhere in
nature?
