I note Sarma's sarcastic remark about God. Pls, explain was it competency that saved the teen aged girl from the yemen plane crash. This girl who was said to have very little swimming skills was the only passenger that was found floating for 13 hrs on the sea.I think we all know how long it takes for a person to die due to hypothermia. So when you feel arguing pls, do it with mortals. No one has the authority to question creator God.
