"Here are some random points to ponder. Mlsoft says that God can step in and change the weather. Ever see a hurricane disappear off the map? Ever see an Atlantic cyclone that didn't blow off the Sahara and move in a westerly direction? Why is there a tornado alley? Can't God send tornados to Boston or San Francisco?"

As I said in my post, God set in place the natural forces that control our weather. He also set in place all the natural forces that control our universe, which He created. For the most part, God allows those natural forces to work on their own, but since He is the creative force behind all the natural forces that exist (and which we are barely beginning to understand), He certainly can alter them for His own purposes at any time He wills. God, being all powerful, could easily do all the things you describe above, but chooses to let the natural forces He created work instead. If the supernatural were commonplace, it would not be "supernatural". Instead, God usually guides and uses the natural forces He set in place to work His will rather than making a dramatic intervention that alters them.

Once a person accepts the fact that God exists, and that He is indeed all powerful, able to do anything He desires, accepting the rest follows naturally. The problem with most people, even those who believe in God, is that their concept of Him is too small and limited.
