I don't understand. Why do you Clive pursue this question? What ever the answer is it will make no difference to you. In christian theology God operates outside the fabric of this existence and yet can alter and interact with it, as such any laws do not matter.
So what is your motivation? I don't think what is going on here is confined to you personally, as there is a consistently here in christian philosophy of asking questions where there can be argument, but no conclusion, the How many angels can stand on the point of a needle debates.
It seems to me these pointless debates, have a purpose, which is to distract, as long as your mind can be absorbed in rolling over the arguments in these pointless propositions, christians will not have to examine the obvious central question, and so can claim to believe in something which at heart they know is false.
So is this just an attempt to keep your faith?
