Up from deism
By Peter Leithart
We’re all deists.  The design of the universe shows that a Great Intelligent Something is responsible for it.
No, says Athanasius.  The design of the universe is the impress of eternal wisdom on the creation.  The cunning of creation doesn’t manifest “God,” but eternal creative Wisdom, the eternal Word, whose name is Jesus.
