God Did It

God Did It
A lot of people have become prone to saying that God did this or that.

But there seems to be a problem with this.

God is claimed to be supernatural, infinite, and so cannot be measured by anything material, finite.

If this is the case, then it appears to be that there is no way to prove God did something

We can prove the cause and effect relationship only because we can record and measure that which was the cause, and thus it's actions or process to produce an effect.

If there is a thing we cannot measure that is claimed as a cause, how is one to rightly determine if this thing termed 'God' really did do it?

Moreover, if we accept the unmeasurable as cause, there is no way to distinguish between beings or causes proclaimed unmeasurable. If one is valid, are not all equally valid?

For example, if the creation of the universe can be attributed to God, why cannot it be equally attributed to magical fairies?

RE: God Did It
"God did it" is not an answer to how, its an answer to who. And it creates a bigger "how" question...

Even if god had created the universe, however complicated, there must be an explaination of how he created it. Thus,there is no such thing as supernatural. Supernatural is the things that we don't know how it works yet..
