The belief that a non-material “being” can influence the dynamics of a physical Universe is inconsistent with quantum field theory and causality.

Utter bollocks.

The omnipotent, infinite and eternal "non-material being" who created everything that is, and holds it in existence by His (its, if you prefer) infinite and omnipotent will, is not bound by "quantum field theory and causality". Quite the contrary, in fact: "quantum field theory and causality" are bound by the will of said being.

You're arguing against Zeus, not God.

Ha! That could be. Aristotle understood substance as matter in form; the materual cause itself is insufficient to explain plan and purpose. Materialism seems to be more a preference against expwrience. Etienne Gilson is very helpful in his From Aristotle to Darwin and Back Again. It's on archive.org
