[quote][quote]thanx for the reply...i totally forgot to add the 'scientific side' of things... and im glad to see uve taken this thing seriously and decided to do sumthing about it! ^_^[/quote]

Hey,

I'm sorry if i tend to take the magical aspect of God's existance out of our everyday life, but i don't really beleive that God directly interferes in our daily lives, rather than they are a product of nature, and nature is a product of the big bang, and the big bang is a product of God.  So technically, God is behind it, but i just don't really accept God being directly behind any of the things which happen in our lives.  I'm more into the metaphorical interpretation of these parts of the Quran because they just make more sense.

But then this doesn't mean that God is not part of our lives or that he doesn't know and see what we do and help us constantly.  I beleive that everything that happens is inherently good, no matter how bad it seems to be.  If it were not good for us, God would not allow it.  A tsunami may seem devastating and horribly bad, but this is only how we see it.  This is the best which could have happened, because if the tsunami didn't happen, something so much worse could have, or it could have happened in order to avoid something else or make something good happen.

The above theory/philosophy took me a while to figure out, but once i started looking at things that way, it was nothing more than easy to accept anything bad, nomatter how bad it seemed.  I can always make decisions and go on with my life being confident that this is the best way and that all i have to do is do my best and leave the rest to God.  Though i don't like using the theory which you use, because that leads to a lot of questioning and doubt, because you actually beleive that God was behind this horrible event, and that he let it happen even though he could have stopped it.  Thoughts like these lead a lot of people into athiesm.
