scientific God or magical God?

Many people who believe in God understand Him to be scientific. Someone who works according to natural law and who is based in consciousness. On the other hand there are those who believe God is magical. Sort of Disney type of magic or Old Testament type of magic. Which camp do you fall into? Or are you something else entirely?

so what i think... there are seven candles, seven ways of organizing knowledge. And each candle has two major aspects: dark and light. So there are 14 aspects as to how to organize knowledge.

Science, and Magic, would be two of them.

God would be able to use any of those, but wouldn't BE any of those.

God seems to like dinosaurs/dragons though

So what are the other 5 ways of organising knowledge?

I never really studied it any of that, it was enough for me to get a bigger picture without drilling into the detail... but... for example there are several isms in the far east... each of those would be one of the lamps/candles in my view....

I see science as explaining what is essentially magical. So for me God is Consciousness, Law Giver, and Great Magician.

I feel that God is you and you are God. So if you think God is magical then so are you.

Just my belief tho.
