God works in mysterious ways? Ways so mysterious that even he doesn't understand them?

The last few days seem to have shown evidence of God's "mysterious" ways. Assuming there is one. Perhaps he should try and figure out his mysterious ways. And start paying attention. Huh?

    I believe we can provide two or three Answers that can provide scientific evidence.

    Reason 1

    Does Any God, Satan or Devil exist? Hypotheses

    ------------------

    Understanding: Anything that can be asserted with little or no evidence can be dismissed just as easily, so the extraordinary claims made by deist, which is that an omnipotent being (god or the devil) exists, would require extraordinary evidences for which religion cannot supply. Therefore, evidence for the existence of god is dismissed with any simple test such as the one that follows. It should be obvious to the most casual of observers that this test can only be applied to an being that is said to be omnipotent, because only omnipotence could be responsible for answering this test.

    Remember: Some religious books will state that the believers can not or should not test their god or the devil for that matter. So, if someone believes in god then he or she would be forbidden from testing god. Since (Atheist, Non-Believers or believers from other religions) do not believe in your god then they of course are free to test said god and show statistical truth behind blind belief in said god.

    1. Important Note: There is nothing that states anywhere in the world that we can not test the Satan or Devil, which is generally categorized as having similar omnipotence as god.

    2. God and devil are two dependent deities, if we show one does not exist then the other does not exist.

    Hypothesis: Does any God Exist? Data Collection and Test:

    This test will show either the gods/devils are not as powerful as claimed or they do not exist at all, in either case they do not deserve anyones worship.

    Here is a simple god/devil/ghost test

    1. God you will post on every Forum, Blog, FAQ and Yahoo Answers Category on the Internet in exactly 30 seconds (GMT) after this post has been made. You will post worldwide and your post will state the following:

    "I am god, I exist"

    A) In every Forum, Blog, FAQ and Yahoo Answers Category must have the same exact time stamp based on human time (GMT).

    2. Devil or Satan or holy ghost you will post on every Forum, Blog, FAQ and Yahoo Answers Category on the Internet in exactly 30 seconds (GMT) after this post has been made. You will post world wide and your post will state the following:

    "I am devil, I exist"

    A) In every Forum, Blog, FAQ and Yahoo Answers Category must have the same exact time stamp based on human time (GMT).

    We now have a working theory known as the God does not exist theory.

    **We have shown that no God of any kind exists!

    **If your god does exist and does not answer then it is not worth worshiping because it either is not omnipoten or does not want or care to be worshiped.

    **We have shown that no Devil or Satan of any kind exists and established that God and Devils are mutually inclusive, so if one does not exist then the other does not exist.

    Thanks for asking such a wonderful question that we all can learn from and even get a little science in too, but the answer seems to be No God

    Reason 2

    Also science has even more definitive evidence that god does not exist, see this Article by NPR

    SCIENCE HAS FOUND GOD, see link below

    http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?story...

    Reason 3

    I know the future and SCIENCE WINS

    In 5 billion “ish” years our sun will go nova and end the earth’s existence, that is when the world will end and not before.

    Reason 4

    There is no evidence for god(s) existence and therefore all god(s) must be assumed NOT to exist!

    Reason 5

    Flying at 10,000 feet, jump out of a plane and on your way down pray to your god for a safe landing. Sciences Wins Again 100% of time splat!

    Reason 6

    The Roman Emperor Constantine produced the bible and he was a pagan not god! He took the Jewish religion, organized it into Christianity and then into the Holly Roman Catholic Church!! Not in Israel or any of the countries of supposed christian or Jewish origin but entirely ITALIAN! Learn your history before you believe is fairy tales.

    Reason 7

    Acceptance of supernatural claims can promote cooperative social relationships. This communication demonstrates a willingness to accept, without skepticism, the influence of the speaker in a way similar to a child's acceptance of the influence of a parent. By encouraging or teaching this sort of automatic acceptance behavior it will facilitate the lack of skepticism and leads to division of people through ideological differences. This of course has only one path which violence brought about by intolerance taught by the religion and it’s belief system.

    Just to name a few

    Waco Texas - Christian

    Jones Town - Christian

    KKK - Christian

    IRA ( Irish Republican Army ) - Christian

    American Nazism - Christians

    Serbians - Christian

    The Bible says that no one is aware of the full mind of God. The Bible also says that now we see dimly,but after we are with God nose to nose we can see naturally. We will never be competent to understand each factor that God is aware of. There are barriers to our finite human minds. Because of this he gave us the Bible, so that we might have a guiding principle,an suggestion,a source of hope. The phrases that you simply listed in your question I've heard routinely. God can and does speak to us. He does disclose Himself to us. You have to learn the non secular gifts which might be in the e-book of Galatians to your Bible. It appears like anyone has stated to you some thing like"god advised me to inform you...." that is known as th e gift of prophesy. That's when God has given any person a phrase to share with an additional individual. You need to be careful,on account that well-which means humans will actually let you know that God informed them to say anything and actually He failed to. False academics don't know they are mistaken. This is where it turns into rather predominant to understand your scripture,in view that God will on no account contradict Himself. If someone gives you a message from God that contradicts the Bible than you are aware of it's now not real, I don't know if this solutions your question,but i'm hoping it helps.

    "God works in mysterious ways"

    An ad hoc hypothesis thrown up by Christians when confronted with intractable contradiction in their absurd belief system. It is nothing more than a veiled confession of ignorance from someone who will say anything rather than question or confront their beliefs. When arguing with a believer, hearing this usually means you've won the debate.

    "How can an all-loving god condemn so many people to eternal torment in hell?"

    "Simple, god gave us a choice to either accept him or reject him."

    "But if God cares so much about us, then why does he need to coerce our devotion with the threat of torture? So why doesn't God reveal himself and warn us about it? Why doesn't he set the non-believers straight? Is our having faith so important to him that he's willing to let millions of people be condemned?"

    "Uh...God works in mysterious ways!"

    NOthing mysterious about God creating those that shoot children...if He didn't know He was creating them, then He wouldn't be Omniscient.

    With an Omnscient God, the buck stops with her.

    (Who else would create something to blame someone else for, but a woman?)

    God works in mysterious ways cause his ways is like a puzzle. It doesn't make sense until you have all the puzzles put together and you see the big picture.

    It is not He who is mysterious, but we who cannot figure out what He is trying to say through these ways. Gandhi says" Listening to God is the ability to listen."

    You missed the mark. He is paying attention. Wondering when people are going to grab a brain. Especially in America, seeing way to many dunce people right now.

    assuming there is a god

    do you think what happens really matters?

    in the end everyone will die child, old, evil, gay, good, atheists, theists...

    it doesn't matter if you die young you die old...short term death and suffering in the living doesnt offer consequences in eternal afterlife of infinity or eternal cycle of death and rebirth.... i mean your comparing 150 years at most to an eternity

    if you endure tremendous suffering through out your living existence... do you think you can compare that to eternal pleasure in heaven or eternal pain in hell, or the infinite bliss of nirvana, or countless reincarnation
