The rest of my post still stands, westwall : While a causal universe may not preclude a deistic creator - one who tapped the big bang into exploding, and then toddled off to play with his other toys, never bothering with the universe again - it does preclude a theistic creator that is still actively involved in the function of the universe, for the reasons I already described.
Not necessarily. We have heard many times of miracles, King Kamehameha benefited from the army trying to kill him being destroyed by a volcanic eruption, as a for instance. If there is a God, maybe he merely drops in occasionally. There is simply no way to know. Your argument is based on opinion, not fact, so it is limited by that simple problem.
