I don't get it.
It's a way of showing Heaven and Earth interacting in a universe that was created by God, who can be both outside and inside of His creation.

In short, it's showing the realm of miracles, angels, and other supernatural things.

What is going on in the universe that is so much greater than life on earth? Watching stars explode? From the Lord’s prayer: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. I can not know how great something in a distant galaxy is as I have never seen it. To see an obese sinner repent and become thin, that is evidence of God’s will. To see a drunk give up drinking, that is evidence of God’s mercy. To meet someone who can speak several languages or is an expert doctor ... that is evidence of God’s will.

If you met me I doubt you'd consider me evidence of God's will :oldthumbsup:

So God only interacts with the universe on Earth? What about the rest of it?

All of 'Earthly and Heavenly Realms, Kingdom on Earth, miracles, angels, and other supernatural things' are human concepts. Your diagram therefore, represents your own personal meaning of 'reality'.

I'm gonna repost the content of my post from the other thread:

My take {on Science and Religious Magisteria} is:

Overlaps:
i) Both go about adding meaning to the term 'reality'. (Ie: they both make claims on 'what reality is');
ii) Both visualise dissimilar conceptions of the origin of the universe (and life's functions within it).

Commonality:
iii) Both require human minds to express the concepts in, and meanings for, (i) and (ii) above.

Distinctions between the two:
iv) There are two distinct ways, (or processes/modes of thinking), for coming up with the concepts in, and meanings for, (i) and (ii) above.

You'd probably find me quite pleasant. But I can be pleasant without help from a god.
To a point.

Anyone can be cordial and open the door for someone.

But let the conversation turn to the Bible, and sooner or later ... well ... I'll let Paul speak here.

1 Corinthians 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

It's cute. Now show us all that such things actually exist.
