What I don't know is that any god consciously arranged anything Michael.
High and low tides are caused by the sea bulging toward the moon's gravitational pull as it passes by or is on the other side of the world
Dear Alwight,
Yes, you don't know, but God did consciously arranged a lot of things. Surely the waves are also a way of being an ocean filter. Like the filter on a fish tank. And also the waves are great for surfing. LOL!!
Everything you've said above can be rather more rationally explained by a natural world having natural events going on for perfectly explainable physical reasons, just like other planets do without any life for God to be angry with.
Ignorance, in the past, caused ancient people to dream up fanciful explanations involving whichever gods they thought were in control of the elements, however most of us have moved on since then Michael.
We can know that God brings this 'nature' by what is written in the Bible. And science explains how it's done, but not Who has done it. You can forget about it being Mother Nature. Does it not say in the Bible, 'the Lord caused a great hail to rain down upon the Earth, and the men blasphemed God because the plague was exceedingly great, each stone the weight of a talent (the weight of a talent in those days was heavier). And the Lord caused an earthquake greater than any since man has been on Earth. So Alwight, we can understand where things come from.
It's actually because of greenhouse gases and the burning of fossil fuel Michael.
Yes I get it Michael, I'm so doomed right?
Who created the greenhouse gases and the burning of fossil fuel, and the chemical makeup of them both. God caused those chemical reactions when He created them.
And no, Al, you're not so doomed at all. It's all up to you and your future, or what you do in your future. When Jesus returns, don't think it's Mohamed coming instead.
God can apparently cause major events and disasters to occur because people aren't doing what He wants, but for some reason doesn't want to make it clear that He even exists, except to the likes of you of course. :liberals:
To my mind Michael you seem to have all the scientific understanding and religiously inspired thinking of the middle ages going on in your head.
:juggle:
Al, God calls the disasters, lightening, thunders, floods, earthquakes mostly against the devils in the earth, to keep them in check, because they are very afraid of God. See Rev. 12:4, 'And the devil cast his angels to the earth and was very wroth (full of wrath) because he knows he has but a short time.
If my inspired thinking is of the middle ages, then what do you tell most churches who know what's going on. Do you tell them that Jesus is coming a lot later when they know He is coming very soon. In other words, you stand against 1/3 to 1/2 of the world's people that they are wrong doing what they are doing, and you are right instead?? You must remember, I'm not the only one who believe in a God!! You are sorely outnumbered. But don't think that God doesn't love you. If I love you, and you know He is more capable of loving His children, how much more do you think He loves you instead. You just don't know how to believe in Him. This is because you push Him away every time He approaches you. Of course, He LOVES YOU!! Do you think that you're not believing in Him is so hard for Him to understand you. You're not the only one who believes that way. He still knows your heart and that you are a wonderful, caring person.
He Is One In A Billion!!
Michael
