Chapter one already discussed the issue that the distinction between “natural” and “supernatural” is not readily evident in the Old Testament and its world. One could go through passages such as Psalm 104 or Job 38 and see that the things attributed to God can also be explained in “natural” terms. The ancients were not inclined to distinguish between primary and secondary causation, and everything was attributed to deity. We can see, then, that the pie model is characterized by a distinction that is essentially unbiblical.[1]
