Did science or God save Dr Kent Brantly from Ebola? : Comments

By Monica Karal, published 19/9/2014

The Sydney Morning Herald article asks why Brantly arrogantly assumed that God deemed him more worthy of saving than the 1400 people who have died of the disease.

Anybody who includes meaningless sentences such as "God is harmony's selfhood" obviously does not feel the need to be rational.

Piffle such as that is an insult to the reader's intelligence and is a certain indication that the remainder of the article will be twaddle.

As it was.

runner,

Why do refer to God as "He"?

Why do you refer to God as having a gender at all?

"abortion is man playing God..."

Surely intervening to cure someone of Ebola by means of medical science and modern transport, etc is "man playing God" too?

So man is allowed to "play God" if you approve...but not if you don't?

THEOLOGY is the art of seeking a blind, black man, in the middle of a moonless night, who is hidden in a dark cellar, looking for an invisible black cat that might or might not be there! :-)

Yuri:
A blind black man?
A post nuclear war, braille bible carrying Eli Perhaps?
A really competent driver!
And absolutely the best guy with a sword or at knife throwing!
And given Eli was completely blind!
And at his best in a street fight, in the darkest night, where he remained just as deadly; but particularly, when he didn't smile and give his position away!
Evidence that God sometimes does work mysterious ways?
I also enjoyed Aesop's Fables; particularly sour grapes; or Tinkerbell's famous search for magic power giving, Disney's stardust! Cheers, Rhrosty.

Rhorsty, you should be a Movie Reviewer! David Stratton - move over! :-)

Methinks you are referring to this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1037705/

LOL...
