Doesn't the Bible rely a bit heavily on the literary weak trick of " Deus Ex Machina"?

So that's what's wrong with my PC todayDoesn't the Bible rely a bit heavily on the literary weak trick of " Deus Ex Machina"?
a definition would be nice?



oh, god from the machine.Doesn't the Bible rely a bit heavily on the literary weak trick of " Deus Ex Machina"?
literary 'weak', ne?

Science cant explain religion.Doesn't the Bible rely a bit heavily on the literary weak trick of " Deus Ex Machina"?
I would agree. In fact the entire book is based on that device. They men who wrote it probably stole the idea from the Greek play writes. Just another case of the bible having Hellenic influences.
Well, 'machina' implies already a God outside of the machine, so that is out of touch. Further, given there is a God in the Bible (not much of a concession) either everything is Deus ex Machina or nothing. Unless of course you have some higher authority that gives you this insight (but then that itself would be Deus ex Machina !!!)
