> but the calculated result of creative effort.

Wouldn’t this mean it’s calculated by something that can conveniently ignore both computational complexity and logical completeness?

To me this seems as unreasonable as young earth creationism..

Or are you thinking of something else..?

Assuming God has either access to more advanced technology than us or more advanced knowledge, why would that be unreasonable? Something that seems computationally complex now (like factoring primes) might be more manageable with more advanced knowledge/technology. Terraforming, bioengineering, factoring primes, etc. are within the realms of possibility for our civilization, so why not for a more advanced being?
