*****************************************************************************
The peple you mention and most pre 20th century religious folks (including
Thomas Jeferson) were theists- not deists. A theist believes in an
impersonal creator - the one that started it all (and then let it go.....)
A deist believes that their god takes a personal interest in each
individual's life.
We have 50- hundreds of years of empiricism, research and scientific
findings since the men you mentioned which have yet to demonstrate any
paranormal phenomena or beings. Scientists would be fascinated by the
existence of the supernatural- some of us have our fingers crossed....Theist
or deist we can only imagine what god might be....
