I too have often here defined God as energy, but I nuance that notion by saying God is "power with a purpose." It takes the seed and forces it through the hard earth to produce a green shoot and finally seed and fruit. I suggest that history is going somewhere--thus evolution in biology and ethics in human behavior.
