I only have a minute, but here is something I fail to grasp regarding religious fundamentalist and religious right wing argumentation. It would have been much easier for an all-powerful God to make everything run on a system of miracles and wonders. Tides? No moon, no rotation - just magical coming and going. Humans? Made them just the way you see them. Gave them fire, too. No evolution, no biology, no intelligence.

Isn’t the omnipotent hand of God much more evident in the intricate machinations of nature, than in simple miracles without the need for elaborate, incomprehensibly balanced natural science?
