To grant God omnipotent power is to raise the question as to why a God with omnipotent power chooses not to use it to intervene to remedy any wrong or to prevent any disaster? If a God has such powers and chooses not to intervene, then is this a God worthy of our service and devotion?

You are wrong .... it is Heisenberg .... I stand by my statement, although I plead guilty to oversimplification. It is the interlocking nature of science, one fields answers agree with another, that makes it powerfull. It was wrong of me to attribute one reason instead of many but the reason itself was not wrong. The Heisenbuerg Uncertainty principal does not specify whether the universe at small levels is deterministic or random. Only that we cannot measure exactly enough to know. As to: God could know the future without predicting it I don't understand what you are saying. Even in chaotic conditions some prediction is possible (I predict the known universe next year will be bigger than this year, I cannot be certain). How could anything know the future if it hasn't occurred yet unless the course of the future was already laid out. TP
