If it’s incomplete because God isn’t done with it, that seems to fly in the face of the deist position which I’ve seen defined as “belief in the existence of a supreme being, specifically of a creator who does not intervene in the universe.”

If God isn’t done yet, in what sense are you a deist? If he is done, how is it that the universe is in some way “incomplete”?

Well I actually never said God isn’t done yet; the process the God of Nature triggered is not complete; its still occurring in nature.

ANY trinitarian version of Christianity believes in The Holy Spirit, and that is almost all of them.

I’m well aware of that; deism is separate from Christianity. Even Christian deism isn’t really “Christian” in the strictest senses. As it rejects Christ as the son on God; and believes Christ to be simply a son of God. But I’m not a Christian deist myself.
