    Declcan & the rest,
    Ivar will realize God's mercy & God's will, only when he will face anything life threatening situation in his life. I am not begging or praying but I just want Ivar to open eyes and not to utter unconvincing words of pride. The next moment in our lives is not known to us.

    Will those people who believe that GOD saved this aircraft accept the same GOD caused the crash/let the crash happen in Mangalore on same day 8 years back ?
    People are free to believe to what they want. But, beliefs can blind one to the truth. At least for passengers in this plane, PILOT and GOD are not different.

    I don't understand the logic.
    First of all why did the God allow the failure of the hydraulic system? If he was not able to prevent that how could you believe he helped in safe landing?

    Ivar,
    Human brains can never comprehend God's 'Will' or 'Wisdom'. Leave it, people allied with Nagpur ideology are incapable of understanding. Trying to make them understand would be like a dog going around in circles trying to catch it's own tail.

    No believer or religious scholar can answer my sincere query. Always, it is either an evasive answer or an abuse.
    Declan, you are no different. I understand and rest.

    Hi Declan,

    You say that human brains can never comprehend God's will or wisdom.

    So, how do YOU know that God helped the pilot?

    I am sure that everything that you talk about God was told to you by your parents or relatives or some other human beings (or even a book written by some human being). So, how could any human being possibly claim to comprehend God's will or wisdom?
