Good answer(s), but what I wonder is, what's stopping him from being 'completely different from the rest of the natural world' as opposed to 'completely different from the natural world'?
Also, how do you know he isn't part of the natural laws and order himself: since he created them, if ever he "breaks" them he's not really breaking them perhaps, but rather he's temporalily transforming them since he's the part of nature responsible for the rest of it, so he can do that.
Finally, just because he isn't a part of nature that can be detected, that doesn't mean he isn't natural. He can't be part of the natural sciences but that doesn't stop him from being part of nature philosophically speaking.
And thanks for the welcomes Shell B and Rayaan.
