Iron Ninja it's been proven through time-lapse photography to be true.

Stullerl, yes there are multiple types of lightning, sorry if I wasn't clear on that. I had implied lightning that went between the ground and sky.

God does not "throw" lightning. And it doesn't always come from the ground. Have you not read of cloud to cloud lightning? If you are going to quote something, be sure you read it first.
God is responsible for lightning. It is just part of nature.

That didnt get me so much as the fact that it travels upward to the sky instead of downward from the sky. Im actualy relieved because if god threw lightning, there would be a few times I would have been bbq'ed. jk

Science established the physical processes that result in Lightning. The reason isnt addressed at all.
My brain sends a signal to my hand to move - but what caused me to signal it?
Science is unconcerned with why...... it answers the "how".

Electricity transfers from positive polar points to negative polar points.
Even after Franklin's experiments, people in science still relied on the concepts of the ether to explain electrical transference. What is funny is that you assume that science is not as fallible as religion. Once science believed that concentric circles was the orbits, and Kepler showed that they are elliptical.
Also, since the Greeks, science "knew" the atom was the smallest particle...now we have quarks. Einstein said quantum mechanics was a joke. yet, as brilliant as he was, we know about dark matter, dark energy, anti-matter, anti-quarks, quarks....science and religion constantly re-invent themselves with new discoveries. It is just that religion re-invents itself to moral truths, and science to empirical truths. When science seeks to explain moral truths, you have the evils of Eugenics, Euthanasia, the Holocaust, forced sterilization...when religion seeks to trump science you have Galileo.
Both science and religion seek to explain the unexplainable. Religion performs this function in regards to moral truths.

If lightning comes from the ground up, and if Jupiter has lightning, and if Jupiter has no solid surface, then where does Jovian lightning come from?

This was never mentioned in the Bible, and it's from Greek mythology. No, it hasn't shaken anyone's faith in God. You're referring to Zeus.

I was raised Catholic and although they may have LIKED me to believe that lightening was thrown by God, I never did.

I never once thought that lightening was thrown by God.

I think God created the laws of nature, and uses them when He needs to, so nope, didn't bother me.
