Obviously, religion tries to fit itself into the role "explaining things". But, how good is it? Religion only got one generic answer to all the unanswered: "God did it".

Does this answer satisfy you?

It satisfies about as well as "Nature did it."

Excuse me... you are incorrect. We test Him all the time... by our actions and/or inactions and, if you're not aware of it, we reap what we sow.

You may test your God now -- there is 100% certainty your God will do nothing for you:

Make a wish, say a prayer to your God, and see if your God will make it happen.

That shows "praying" is quite a lunatic act.

i test god all the time

relationship goes both ways, not just one sided

LOL
i'm laughing out loud

my experience is the opposite... all my wealth, success, happiness, peace of mind, and advancement in life are a result of prayer.

god ALWAYS comes through for me.

my idea of lunacy is to cut myself off from god. that is sheer madness. why would i cut myself off from my life force and try to do it on my own? ROFL. That's like trying to push a car uphill, instead of getting in the car and turning on the ignition.

Huh, I've had the exact opposite experience. All my achievements and happiness happened in the absence of prayer.

How the hell can that be since it is only a name change? Unless of course you can tell me what"Nature" actually IS that is doing these things?
Have we scientifically discerned the essence of this mysterious thing you "take for granted" because it "Just is?"
