"an event which is completely intelligible in a natural or historical sense"?

As a follow up to the last post, some further thoughts.

Some strengths of this position (and which I agree with). X refers to God, the infinite Mystery:

1. X works through secondary causes;
2. X is not arbitrary or capricious but reasonable;
3. X requires a free response.

Unfortunate consequences for the human person of this position:

1. narrows reason to one method only;
2. makes reason extrinsic to the person;
3. evidence is limited to empirical and reproducible.

There are, of course, unfortunate theological consequences of the position, but the loss of the human is quite enough for me to seek a more satisfactory solution to the problem at hand.
