I do believe God to be MOTHER NATURE herself, and evolution directly linked to natural responses, all part of the same engine just doing its thing, infinite variables!
Infinite is a concept sooo in another plane, that trying to act as if we understood what it means just makes man look foolish ... Infinite time, Infinite knowledge, Infinite variables.
Infinite also affects the commonly misunderstood question "If God knows everything, what is free will for?". Well, the fact that statistically a computer with the correct model could easily predict the outcome of the possible scenarios and decisions anyone could make at any point in time, doesn't mean the outcome isn't affected by the user's decisions.
There's a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path ... and not all paths take to the same destination. Do you think God doesn't know about all these haters?
He's given them a sound mind, information*, and he knows that depending their choices they can end up with him, or with the other guy. Yet they're making their own decisions which will lead them where they want to be.
* NO WAIT, GOD ACTUALLY AFFECTS HAS SOMETHIING TO DO WITH LIFE CURRENTLY BEING LIVED?
- Depends on how you want to see it. Ultra religious people think that it's God's will for them to suffer sickness, and they should accept it, so they reject medication ... but it's meant to be that we get to live at a certain point in time, and we've got to make the best of it given what we have around us. (Yes, birth control. Yes, medicine).
In that, same spirit, God being mother nature would explain why "GOD HATES FAGS" - Sadly, our natural purpose in life is to perpetuate ourselves, and homosexuality doesn't offer offspring naturally as an outcome, so that's pretty much the punishment itself - you can't leave your DNA behind.
