Floyd, dear friend,Your explanation is fair enough, well said. Perhaps we don't agree on many things but I enjoy the rap, Floyd, anyway. Keep it up.
As for not leaving material traces, perhaps God has left quite a lot and we simply don't understand them all. For example:
Maybe one could attribute the Noahic Flood to God's tilting of the axis to 16 and a half degrees. Did you ever think, Why is there a polar north and a magnetic north? The earth has an iron-nickle core spinning on the magnetic north orientation. This core is surrounded by a liquid mantle and encasing that is a thin crust which rotates along the polar axis. What would be the effect on earth if it were shifted?
Well the waters of the deep would build up energy and wash over the continents. Critics of the Noahic Flood have always said that there is not enough water in the clouds to rain and cover the earth, but the Bible indicates that the water came from the deep, or springs from below in four places. A sudden jerking of the earth's axis would be like pulling a wash basin and then stopping it. The water would slosh over the sides.
Other supporting evidences are the worldwide normality of the mountain ranges to the "old" north (now in the Baniff Peninsula, Canada). Paleomagnetic readings of the layered coolings. The sea bulge location of a mysterious sea port high in the Andes, Tiuhahnaco. The suddenly frozen animals (10's of thousands) normally associated with warmer climates whose undigested food is still in their stomach.
Perhaps this could be one small example of God intruding into our 3-D space and 1-D time dimensions. But the biggest example was Jesus Himself, who as all-powerful God came here to save us from our sins. He even submitted Himself willingly to total humiliation and was put to death in a most cruel manner. Why? so that you and I may live.
Greater love I cannot ever imagine. The One who created me, also suffered and died for me. That counts for everything and no one can take it away. God Bless.

PS. Watch yourself and don't get beaten up by the police, Floyd. They've got a Darth Vader look about them these days, don't they?
Perhaps we'll agree about the WTO. They come on like a bunch of "free traders", but in actual fact, they are only about CONTROLLING economies and monetised DEBT currency policies. As far as I'm concerned those things equal Imperial Communism.
Gold is the currency of Nations, Silver the currency of gentlemen, Barter the currency of peasants, and monetised debt the currency of fools. Debt notices (ie. unexchangable for gold or silver) are issued by central banks. As Lenin once said, 90% of communism is in establishing a central bank. Some countries euphemistically call their central banks, "federal reserve banks", same thing.
