Default Re: God, Quasars, and Coin Flips

Maybe God's purpose in life is to make as many people happy as possible while still maintaining what appears to us as a perfectly predictable sense of order. Don't underestimate the power of omniscience. If I jump off a steep cliff, God can't do anything that doesn't flagrantly defy everything in my eyes. But if I lose control of my car, maybe sometimes God can nudge a few things around to help me.

Why does he want to maintain this sense of order? Maybe because since He gives us free will, he wants to test what we do with it. It's probably a better test when we're acting on predictable observations than randomly on faith in His random interference.
