Well since I read a lot of contempory Jewish literature, I don't think I am projecting my mindset onto their beliefs.

You sound like you have bought into Process Theology, but if not, my apologies.

The God of 5000 years ago is still the God of today. He hasn't changed.

God doesn't change, but people do. We have patterns of inquiry, burning questions to be answered (well, burning to us), ways of thinking and particular world views. To assert that the ancient Jews share our modern obsession with the workings of the physical world is absurd.

And no, I am quite conservative in my theology. So conservative, in fact, that I accept the answers found in the Bible to the questions of who is God and what is my relationship to Him. I just don't think the Bible answers questions about how God actually made all of this happen.
