I tend to think of God™ the Creator as separate from God™ the personal saviour. God™ the creator set up a creation which has certain rules, rather he set up the rules that would result in creation, but did not fine tweak when things went a certain way, I feel the same about evolution, God set up the rules for evolution and let them run their course, the rules that set up nature are the same. Are you familiar with the concept of spiritual warfare and the corruption of creation? That suffices as an answer as well (if you're looking for something that can be drawn from the biblical texts). The basic idea is that angelic forces (often referred to as the "principalities and powers" in Scripture) are able to exercise their free will in such a way that it affects nature itself. That's not to say that there is a specific angel/demon behind every specific event that happens in nature, but it's rather a blanket statement about why the "natural" order of things doesn't always seem to reflect God's intended design. And the theory concludes that all of creation itself will be redeemed in the age to come. I find it rather interesting. It is interesting, in that way Angels are part of the things that God™ has set up and allows to run as they will. |
