Here's a serious question regarding nonintervention, from genuine

1. E.g. speciation "download" (significant interventions; detectable)

3. Quantum event loading (probabilistic interventions; undetectable?)
4. Pure front-loading (initial intervention only; undetectable)

I take issue with your nomenclature. Those items (1-4) are not forms
of theistic anything. They are forms of unknown superpower
intervention. Even if one of those scenarios is fact, there is no
reason to say that the actor behind it is a god.

You seem to have a very naturalistic view of God.

Why can't you go beyond a generic reference, here?
