I saw this line in a book. What do you think?
"If all creation is viewed as an expression of God, there is no supernatural God to be inspired by."

EXTREMELY LOGICAL
if everythin is a work of god, then we are a mere product!!!!!!!!!!
the notion of god arises bcoz the universe seems like a design.
God defines everything....life is a bit more complicated than that;)
there is no denying the supernatural......but it shudnt be perceived superstitiously!
however life is more of an expression....its more than just creator and created!!!
when you say life is a creation ....then you are condensing the infinite possibilities and dimensions of life to one defined concept!
its human nature to define complex matters in simple forms so that it can be comprehended by the human mind!!!
instead of transcending their minds which rely solely on intelligence, humans tend to boil down complex expressions to something that their minds can understand, to something that fits their intellect...
but i think the complexities of life are way too vast to be comprehended by the rational mind, through intelligence alone.....
all those who comprehended life did that in a state of trans.....by transcending their senses and their rational mind through meditation....or through some creative methods....
our mind and thoughts are made up of experiences born out of our 5 sensory organs...
there is more to life than what we perceive through our five senses....
the concept of god is easily perceived through the mind.....
so how is it possible that a notion like "god" which is clearly defined......be the creator of everything that our minds can not even perceive???
so.......the secrets of life would always be beyond the comprehension of the rational mind.....
what are mysteries but something that lies beyond the grasping potential of the mind.....
beauty transcends logic and rationality, therefore it takes you in a state of trans.....touching on the outer realm of the cosmic existence.....
life's mysteries and secrets can only be discovered by transcending our reason and rationality....in a state of trans....
not through any defined concepts like god...

Has to do with the idea that God and nature are the same. If nature is the TOTAL expression of God, then there would be nothing supernatural outside of creation. He would be limited to the laws of nature, and would go out of existence if the universe ended.
What the Bible teaches is that God exist before and outside of creation. While He can be seen in the things that are created, He is not limited to creation. If the whole universe where to be destroyed tomorrow, God would still exist. This would make Him a supernatural (above and beyond the natural) being, able to perform miracles.
Hope that helps explain the quote.

I believe it to be flawed. I look at creation, His creation and I'm constantly amazed at the splendor and might of His Power. Who, or What, else could have brought All these wonders into existence. I see Him in All things and, thus, I find the Supernatural God.

Whoever wrote that is blind. Creation is MARVELOUS! Look at the mountains, look at a little baby, Listen to a thunderstorm and then say there is no supernatural God. If creation does not inspire, then there is no life, that person is dead while he is alive.

no dought it is BS. READ YOUR BIBLE
1jo 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
1jo 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
