Emergent

Miracles 4.9 "... one could remain a Naturalist and yet believe in a certain kind of God -- a cosmic consciousness to which 'the whole show' somehow gave rise: what we might call an //Emergent// God. Would not an Emergent God give us all we need? Is it really necessary to bring in a //super//- natural God, distinct from and outside the whole interlocked system?" -- this is followed by an aside to the reader suggesting that the Modern Reader finds the idea of cosmic consciousness, an Emergent God instinctively attractive. This refers to the God's of different ages -- the Democratic Age and the Monarchical Age. See Ages.
