Then essentially you're saying what I already suspected you were saying: That the "higher physics" is, on your view, actually God Himself. Or at least, God as you can conceive Him, according to your "rational" categories."
It's interesting what can happen with "rational categories." Recently I had the pleasure of reviewing how Baruch Spinoza managed to "rationalize" the God of Judeo-Christian theology (see the Ethics). It was a magnificent opus, a cathedral of logical construction, based on definitions, axioms, postulates, lemmas, and so forth, all magnificently, supremely logically done.
But at the end of the day, the acceptance of this completely rationalized God only serves to deracinate human experience, which is based on faith at least as much as on reason, if not more.
Spinoza ends up producing a God of which no human being ever had any experience at all, including Spinoza — a pure abstraction in every sense.
One can rationalize things all day long. But that is not exactly the recipe one would use if what one wanted was something reasonable, in the end.
With your "eternal 'higher physics,'" you make for a very strange theist, spunkets; but welcome to the fold nonetheless!
No. The physics is what supports reality. God is a being that exists in that reality.
"at the end of the day, the acceptance of this completely rationalized God only serves to deracinate human experience, which is based on faith at least as much as on reason, if not more."
God is real, and is a perrson, not a rationalization. Keep in mind that He is a person and came here specifically to teach who He was. He did that by becoming human. Faith is beleiving what someone says through reason and decision, w/o the hard evidence that would provide certainty. God made choices as a human in this world(human experience) to be true to Himself, generating the identical personality and holdings of the Father, which are identified as and in the person of the Holy Spirit. That Person is who is to be known, not some rationalization, or other person, or thing.
