Open questions for this research include whether God acts in this way in all or
only some quantum events, whether God acts purposefully by knowing the future sub
specie eternitatis, whether Gods action in this way maintains the
possibility of human free will, how one addresses the problem of suffering,
disease, death and extinction in nature, and so on. On time and eternity see Part 2-A above. On theodicy see Part E-2 below.
