If your child was born with a birth defect it happened because god wanted to glorify himself through that "special" child and teach you some lesson in life. Christians knock science but they have no problem enjoying the many comforts and fruits of the labor that science has brought us. In my opinion the biblical plan of salvation shows that when it comes to god being omniscient, that god in fact did not know shit.
According to the teachings of the O.T. gods plans were only for those of the 12 tribes of Israel and no one else. Then along comes Jesus and since they (Jews) rejected him he extended his plan of salvation to the rest of us. God is trying to save us from a place of torment and eternal damnation that he himself created. How moronic is that!! It shocks me to the core that in this day and age of learning and scientific expansion of knowledge that we still have people clinging to the false superstitions of the past.
