Again, I don't think I'm being clear enough.

God sees that if he does X...Y will not happen.
There fore he does Z to accomplish Z.

That's different from doing X and incorrectly thinking Y will happen.



So planing ahead = being sometimes wrong.

Help, because I'm missing something.



Hehe, fair enough.



What if he were real. Pretend he were.

You'll find that your answer may not be too different from God's.

It would explain why he's more subtle.
I concede part of your point. Assuming there is a God and he feels like being subtle, well, he'll be the subtlest thing possible and us humans will have no idea.

Harry Potter could be nonfiction too. The Ministry of Magic would have its hands full trying to keep Hogwarts off of satellite imaging systems and preventing Muggles from leaning against a certain pillar in Kings Cross, but they're a determined bunch of wizards and I'm sure they would find a way. Proving the impossibility of disproving a conjecture does not equal proof of that conjecture. Barring unforseen mental gymnastics, I believe this line of argument has just come to a dead end.

Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause.
