Hodge's Systematic Theology notes that the world is full of data. Science is the practice of organizing the data in meaningful ways and examining relationships among the data.

Sorry, but if one has the greatest thing since sliced bread, why hide it and not share it?
Only a greedy narcissist or paranoid personality would keep good things from others.
If your God allows all the fucking crap that goes on on this planet and claims his will and "mysterious ways" are a good thing, then the asshole should pony up with a lagit explanation. If he doesn't want to give us one, then fuck him.
Now MIND YOU, no such critter exists. But if you stick by such horrible logic we have to object. No sane parent in their right mind would allow the things that God allows to happen to humans happen to their own kids. Point being the LOGIC is not there to defend such a claim.
FYI quoting a holy writing to prove a holy writing is what all religions do, and it is circular reasoning no matter which fan of whatever religion does it.
You mean that you can control your grown up and independent kids by taking away their free will?
