@tadkins613 .. Sorry for cutting our conversation short there but I thought it might be better if we took this more 1:1 instead of spamming everyone's timelines. For the record, I am actually a Muslim and not a Christian. Different Theology all together.

That’s ok. We are talking monotheism. I recommend looking at someone like Averroes if you are interested. He sparks a move away from nature-as-God-wills to God-made-nature-according-to-laws

Averroes (or Ibin Rushd as he is known in Arabic) did not (as some in the west think) preclude God's will in the creation and running of nature, he only argued that the laws of nature are of his will.

He argued against thinking God willed the things to be what they are when they happen (transcendent explanation). He argued laws of nature follow from God’s will (immanent principle).

Yes, it's a common belief of Islam backed by the Quranic text. What isn't part of Islamic belief is the idea that God did a "Set-it-and-forget-it" move on existence. in which he creates existence then let's it run by itself.

No of course not, that is Enlightenment Deism, God is unalienated cause unexhausted in the effect, absolutely infinite expression...do you recommend a particular English translation of the Quaran?
