Well, it's a self-contained piece of code that, once triggered, sets off a series of events with a complex output. and it's a phased set of events that unwinds over time, with later operations depending on the earlier results as input.
Although if that were the case, then God would never have had to invoke one since the beginning of time. I guess that the idea of god using macros in terms of interacting with the physical world implies a somewhat more interventionist god, in which case the answer would probably be no. I doubt there's a "create stigmata" button when the observed cases differ so widely.
If God uses excel, God probably has a natural language processing command system.
I'm a language geek; I'm a physics newbie. How would the laws of physics function as macros?

I'm kind of thinking that maybe time itself is a God-macro.

I believe that God is a very interactive God, so this works with my paradigm just fine, it seems. Though I should ask why the use of macros would imply an interventionist God.

Well, I'm sure there wasn't a "create universe" button, either. :)

Why would He use Excel when Access can do so much that Excel can do, but can manipulate data more? :)
