I will demonstrate each one by an analogy.
1) Initial setup: I fashion a series of connected pipes, and then I released a load of marbles into them. I step back, and take no further part.
2) Influence within continuity: As above, except I am allow to gently tilt the pipes so as to guide the movement of the marbles.
3) Influence without continuity: As above, except I'm also allowed to reach in to take marbles out, put them somewhere else in another pipe, remove them altogether or introduce new marbles.
Which of these three most closely represents what you guys think about the "design" aspect of life? You may well all have different answers.
I'll repeat this question as I didn't get any answers yet.
