“Magicians are illusionists. God is a Creator. Ex nihlo type.”


Note that I said in my post that “so I look at God as being the ultimate magician (and everything else).”

Sometimes He fools us with what is, for him, just an illusion...and sometimes He creates out of nothing. He is the very definition of “multi-talented” - His knowledge and abilities are literally infinite and beyond our understanding, no matter what our level of technology.

>>Sometimes He fools us with what is, for him, just an illusion..<<

To what end? In the Crevo wars, posting “God the trickster” was always a bad road to walk.

God does not want to trick us. He made a wonderful universe and tasked us tiny Humans with: “Go figure it out.” From string theory to decoding DNA to maybe even the multiverse, God smiles as we learn. He does not plant “false flags.”

And yes, we have miracles and angels who watch over us and other things we cannot explain. It is part of His Plan which we cannot fathom.

But more than anything he gave us the most wondrous creation of all: the brain with which we can discover so much.

That alone tells us how much God loves us.
