He also accepts existence of the miracles of Salvation History. God is a necessary part of the universe, without Him the universe would cease to be. On the other hand, natural science will never be able to confirm or disconfirm this action. There may, of course, be exegetical problems in relating this view to Scripture for many traditional Christian theists, but that will not be the focus of my criticism. I believe that the difficulty for such a model is that it is fairly implausible given what Christian theism claims to know about God's actions in the created order.
Traditional theists postulate at least one divine action and one gap in the created order.
This gap makes it much more plausible that other gaps exist than that none exist. Van Till is free, in the end, to assert whatever he likes about God's actions, if he is determined to save the standard scientific cosmological story or his own particular theology. He should, on the other hand, give up on certain theological beliefs that may be central to his religious experience. As a result, many Christian theists will not find his views persuasive. In my opinion, an important advantage to Van Till's view is that it is quite aesthetically pleasing.
