Is God Altruistic? Is God Happy?

[Acrobat]

Couple of problems here with that, just because the universe operates of a certain rules, that doesn't mean those rules can be defied. Imagine if we were as some suggest a part of a computer program, some simulated version of reality. This world would operate under the certain rules written into its programing, but events, or the phenomena that defy those rules on occasion could occur by the sheer will of the programmer.

The same premise would apply, if our reality isn't purely physical. We only perceive the world mentally, but believe there's a reality external to us absent of mental features, a purely physical reality. Yet the reality we perceive is purely mental, our first hand recognition is mental in form. Perhaps the world exists like a sustained thought, a product of some sort of supreme consciousness. Perhaps some of the more spooky elements of our cosmos make better sense in such a picture than a purely physicalist account.  A man, resurrected, no less impossible than then the thought of it. 

None of this may be true of course, but they're possible. And because they are possible, and not impossible, miracles can happen, even if only rarely.

This fantastic scenario you describe is not the god of the bible.

No but such scenarios negate your “. The universe operates according to a set of rules and under those rules magic/miracles cannot happen. ”
