The details are naturally more complex, but that's my understanding as a layman.
Crackling is the result of a build-up of pressure in pockets of moisture in the burning material (notably wood) as it vaporizes into steam, expands and bursts out.

Devil in the details. Guess that would take a deeper understanding of exactly what fire is. e=mc2 kind of stuff.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
