What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

There's no need for divine creation when there is something in or about the universe that is eternal.

What you are saying is quite significant.
If science keeps going with those notions, it is only doing what was predicted over a 100 years ago, 1880's.
Science will be introduced to the ultimate way to make God of no consequence and obsolete.
This philosophy will open up the gates to discovering another aspect of matter, hitherto ignored by the vast majority.
People will fall for this, not just intellectually, but with every sense, because it will produce some mind blowing results.

You're working with novel interpretations of engineering and happenstance, then.

I'm probably on a tangent in my response, what I'm saying is that you can look at the world and not see any evidence of Divine power, because the universe was designed to be independent of God, a super economy if you like.

It is not necessary to say "God did it to every action," as if there isn't a real physical phenomenon at play, but to appreciate the thing made by God anyway.

There is a mindset, which says that as soon as something has a tangible and physical explanation or mechanism, then God isn't in the question.

It's like a kid who gets money from his dad in his bank account, one day he finds out that the money is automatically added each month, and so he now believes in the bank and dismisses his dad's contribution altogether.
