If one has an issue with a G-d who could intervene in history and break the 'laws of nature', they may be a philosophical theist but they haven't even begun to know the G-d of Israel

In fact, the opposite starting point is closer to correct - knowing the G-d of Israel, it would be extremely strange if He did not intervene in history and break the 'laws of nature', since He is literally their Creator in the fullest sense of the term

"He Created them so perfectly He never WANTS to intervene" is one thing, and an interesting position.

"By their very being they negate interference; He is powerless or locked out of this place! He CAN'T intervene!" - we're not describing the same Person

And in fact, the prevention of Divine Intervention has no ground whatsoever in nature - there are fewer grounds today to compel it in philosophy or science or anything else than ever.

It is a limitation ONLY of the imagination, of what the mind is willing to put up with.

It's a form of stubbornness, and its deepest root is the need for all things to be, in principle, comprehensible to me.

If I cannot comprehend them, I must at least be able to comprehend those who do, etc.

It is an intellectual tantrum out to protect number one.

It explains a strange phenomenon I have mentioned many times on this account - that of the scientist who says we are insignificant cosmic dust yet are orders of magnitude more arrogant than the theologians who said we are the apples of G-d's eye.

Many of us are willing to sacrifice conceptual and moral significance (permitting all sorts of sins on the way, how convenient) in order to KNOW, deep down, our place in the universe.

Knowledge is power, after all.
