His planning doesn't suck.  How can you say that when you don't even know it?

enough with Epicurus.  He didn't knew God's plans either.  He presumes life =
good, death = bad; which is not necessarily right in all cases.  I'm not saying
this as justification for genocides committed by men's hands, but applying it to
tragedies out of men's control.  Also, it may take time,  but justice is
eventually made.  Epicurus talked as if suffering was continuous on the same
victims no matter what and the criminous was allowed a life of happiness
thereafter.  Most criminous against humanity have had some terrible deaths or
tragedies in their families or mental illness in the last days or whatever.
Hitler suicided,  his partner Goebbels killed his 6 children and suicided,
Saddam saw his 2 sons die and then was eventually executed.  God directly
influences this world via men's actions too.

Besides, non-believers will say miracles such as healing due to prayer are
actually a matter of chance, so I don't see the relevance of them trying to
find proof of God's interactions in the world when every said interaction can
be ultimately traced to quantum fluctuations, which IMO is precisely God's way
of interacting with the physical world...
