Right, well I don't understand why my belief that God permeates the totality of "his' natural and a spiritual creation -- in all its immensity of forms and forces -- needs to prevent me also believing in a personal God, whose anthropomorphic form is perfectly expressed and explained in Christ?
The Red Indian pantheism was concerned with The Great Spirit -- the One -- as expressed in many forms, but still separate and above the individual forms, and who could be petitioned directly by man?

It doesn't.
I would agree that God permeates the totality of creation, I would simply say that creation is an act of God, not God manifesting Himself in natural forms.
The Incarnation, of course, is a separate issue.
