Why "mysterious ways" don't matter.

[Clueless Morgan]

We are not in a good position to assess the probability of whether God has morally sufficient reasons for allowing evils that occur. As an example, under Chaos theory, large systems are sensitive to the smallest fluctuation. A butterfly flapping its wings might produce a hurricane 10,000 miles away. The same applies to any single event in human history. From a perspective only available to God, there is no way to see how allowing any event OR intervening in any event will affect other events.

Do you not believe that God is omniscient then? An omniscient god would be able to know the outcome of any large system regardless of how complex it is. It would be able to see that the bird my neighbor's cat just killed was the mother of the three eggs in the nest up the tree that will now starve to death because they have no mother, and those three birds were the pivotal three birds that would determine whether the worm population stayed in check or multiplied out of control to the point where there became a worm overload in the biological systems of the Pacific Northwest giving those who sell fish bait a dirth of product causing the price of bait worms to plummet due to over abundence and more and more people take up the hobby of fishing leading to massive over fishing of Oregon's rivers causing the price of Northwest salmon to skyrocket causing local fish restaurants to experience drops in their best selling menu items because it's too expensive causing some of them to fold and contributing to the bad economy of the United States and keeping people nervous about spending money because they just lost their jobs as line cook at McGrath's Fish House, meaning they'll have to go on welfare until they can find another position at another restaurant but the economy is so slow to recover that jobs are hard to find and republicans are demanding welfare reform that will dump this line cook out on the streets because he no longer has the funds to keep his apartment and he falls into a life of crime in order to support himself and just put food in his mouth...

An omniscient god would be able to see that. It doesn't matter how complicated the system, it would still see all of that.
