"..what happens along the way is what happens..."

My understanding is that things not just happen (or arbitrary happen), they happen because of certain mathematical reason.

Harvey, don't you feel that explanation of killing children by God as "for higher good" is, softly speaking, naive?

Or, let's put it in more general perspective. You justify ANYTHING which happens as God's plan. ANYTHING AT ALL. Besides obvious moral bancrupcy of this justification it has ZERO value in understanding nature, let alone in predicting nature's behavior.

On the other hand, science provides correct explanation of events and allows to make correct prediction of nature's behavior. Also, science can protect innocent people from such elements of "higher plan of God" as WTC attack, wars, holocasts, and natural acts of God (like flood, strong winds, tornadoes, etc.

So, "events happen the way they happen, and this exactly is the higher plan of God"? Looks like you still live in 21st century BC and does not know that there is more accurate and more useful explanation of events (it is called science, by the way).

By the way, how open is the mind which says that "events happen the way they happen because this is the higher plan of God"?
