Funny how God was supposedly really talkative and intervening in human affairs during the times when the average person was very uncritical, unsceptical, illiterate, and gullible and the sharing of mass information across distances was practically impossible. Now that we have a much more educated and skeptical public (though not as much as I would like), we have cameras everywhere, the internet, 24/7 news, God is all the sudden more antisocial than the deist's God.
God is the God of the Natural universe. so it makes sense that God uses the natural processes to accomplish his will. Just because one can explain how or understand or label these processes now, doesn't make it any less Godly.
Um, God clearly had no concern for natural processes when he was dropping mana from the sky, making donkeys speak, healing blind people, inspiring writers, and raising himself from the dead, etc.
