Before you assume that I am going to answer a question by simply stating
"God's Plan" (which I agree is a cop-out if used as a response to every

"we can better understand the work of God by being open to the way the
universe actually works."
What is it about the way the Universe works (scientifically, not
philisophically) that doesn't support the plain and simple record of how
God created it.
