if you call for "Divine Intervention" aren't you just asking God to fix what He screwed up in the first place?

This sort of crap drives me crazy (a short trip admittedly).

Forget that it's just another Sarah Palin playing with the gullible media thing, consider the the basic concept.

If you believe in a God who answers human prayers and involves Himself in human affairs, is He not the person who allowed the whole Gulf disaster to happen in the first place?

Prayer is the last refuge of the ignorant.
