Again, why would God create a world that He Could only supernaturally manipulate? Would it not make more sense to create a world that maybe He held the keys to rather than being forced to magic his will into being?
What you are describing is a god having to force his will upon what he supposedly created by having to resort to supernatural/magical processes to accomplish what wants done. Does this sound like someone who had knowledge of everything to come and the power to create or build in a way to accomplish what He wanted done without supernaturally manipulating it?
Because that does not at all sound like the god the Bible is describing to me.
I’m just pointing out that the final stop on this apologetic tour is to reduce the wholly miraculous flood narrative to a guy floating down a creek on the top of his chicken shed.
That the god you believe in? The god of the runaway coop and wholly natural explanations?
