Not at all. But in a morally neutral world where scientists are scrambling to create life in a laboratory while simultaneously their counterparts are slaughtering millions of innocent babies, and a world where we've developed the ability and power to blow ourselves into oblivion, maybe He thinks it best that there are just some things we don't need to know.

Why would He start that now? Under that logic, God would have prevented man from self-destruction long ago--woulda stopped Adam from partaking of that fruit.......I don't think he intervenes as far as that's concerned.

To a point I agree. I don't think He intervenes in our day to day self destructive behaviors other than to hope we seek Him and stop doing foolish things. I DO think, however, that he will not allow "man" to destroy the world - unless that's how He intends to accomplish His plan.

I'm functioning on way to little sleep today to think this through clearly. But all I'm really trying to say is that there are things in the mind of God that man will never know -- at least not on this side of eternity.
