I will have other comments later, it could be Monday or Tuesday, I'm go out of town tomorrow.
I'll save you some time.
Your answers will be, "GodDidIt... GodDidIt... GodDidIt... GodDidIt..."
You've managed to miss the entire point of the OP and totally forgotten my question. Are you prepared to take ownership of all this woo, that is you really and honestly think that the universe really operates this way?
Followup question, since I think I can safely assume a "yes", is to explain your beliefs. There are, as I see it, two possibilities:
1. The overwhelming woo of Acts is still happening today but it's all really stealthy and happens under the radar somehow. Explain in detail. Government run Men in Black keeping it all under wraps? Satan's keeping it covered up to con atheists into Hell? Pure chance?
2. 2000 years ago was the age of woo. That was then, this is now. Now we live in a natural universe. Explain in detail. Is God taking a thousand year nap? Did Jesus sign a peace treaty with Satan? Has the dragon blood that once ran strong among sorcerers thinned out over the generations?
