Daystar, it is claimed God intervened because of the wickedness of man ie vicious murders, rapes, child sacrifice. You said before:
'God can't simply remove evil at his whim because mankind is lord over their own planet under the influence of Satan'
Well, this is exactly what He is meant to have done in these earlier 'events'. He forced His will above the humans. He flooded the earth, he destroyed whole cities. He doesn't appear to do that now. It's been 2000 years since any supposed 'intervention'. This long 'absence' is worringly long and silent.
