In another thread, you and I were discussing science and Bible interpretations. I proposed that the more you try and align the Bible to scientific knowledge, the further away you get from this.. errr... "unique" personal god. You told me that Jesus Christ by definition makes you be in a personal relationship with the Creator of the Cosmos.
Do your homework and ask him for an answer instead of shrugging and saying "God works in mysterious ways". Convenient answers like that usually tell me that you purposely avoid finding any sort of answer to e.g. the question asked because it would replace the charm of his "mysteriousness" with the sobering reality that no god is behind the coincidental events you attribute to his "mysterious ways".
I will try to locate the other thread tomorrow and continue it there. But what about the primary question on this?
