Greg, any system can be internally consistent. The main goal here is to find consistency with experiment and make some predictions. If you have a theory and it can't make predictions, what the hell kind of theory is that?! You might as well believe groceries are delivered to the supermarket by invisible sprites if all you care about is that you can indeed buy groceries at the supermarket. Mathematics is internally consistent. That doesn't prove it is right, but it does and can make predictions and is therefore is useful. Go ahead, make a prediction that would only happen because of a God-force. Have it happen tomorrow and that I can duplicate the day after. Almost anything will do as long as I can do it too, or it can be consistently repeated. As I've said, if God cared about houses of worship then acts of God would seemingly produce a bias against such things happening. We talked about this on SGBR and I said porno theaters and churches in similarly shaped building would seem to have different rates of lightning strikes and tornados if God gave one hoot about them. I doubt you could find such a correlation.
