That might be good enough for most people, some of us need a bit more than that, i.e. HOW he did it. Again the starting point for that discussion is Julian Jaynes, and “Origin of Consciousness”. All of the evidence I’ve ever seen indicates that God operates entirely within the laws of physics and that, if you want violations of mathematical and physical wholesale laws, you need to be talking to the evolosers since they specialize in that sort of thing.

I read James' stuff years ago. Pure malarkey. There is zero evidence for the "bicameral mind" evolution of consciousness. God operates within the laws of physics except when he chooses not to. That's why such cases are miracles.
