Abstract

As an extension of a concept known as tawheed,* nothing lies outside of The Jurisdiction of Divine Intervention; nor is God the deist's watchmaker, winding up reality and watching various Newtonian-like mechanized processes play themselves out.†Once this latter deist notion is embraced, and given a particular subtle type of human propensity for self-exaltation (a type which is by definition not within the secular humanist's recognition but well-known to the world's yedic and abrahamic faith traditions), it is only a matter of time before God is cast out of the ontological picture and these alleged processes are themselves seen as absolute and self-existent–they themselves become all powerful “deities” which some day will be clearly elucidated.
