Neuroscience and the Transcendence of God

I was just musing about neuroscience and the transcendence of God, as you do.

I don't know if this argument is helpful, I think it occurred to me because I had an arminian Philosophy of Religion tutor who always insisted that human freedom always entailed a limitation on God. This seemed an odd position because, from a scientific point of view freedom looked rather illusory anyway ...

Anyway, IF one accepts that the human spirit or soul is not merely reducible to the physical elements upon which it appears to reside, IF one accepts that a materialistic account is not sufficient to give a full account of what it is to be human ...

THEN if one also accepts that God is creator ex nihilo and has thus created humans, body and soul, then it seems one has accepted that one knows of one being who is able to do what we cannot with physicality, create human freedom and life and soul. It seems that God must therefore be transcendent and not simply limited to acting in the predictable manner science expects.

One could act extra qualifications - is past creation of freedom different from present governance of creation - but I still think that there is a point here.
