Why can't he make a large bird come down and land on the attackers head, causing him to fight it and allowing the victim to run away? Doing so would not impact the attacker's free will, but would save the victim. Why is this not done?

I ask this because a lot of you seem to think that the reason god allows evil is so that we can have free will. Who's free will does this scenario impact?

God gave us free will... We all get to choose whether we will follow Him or not.
God is the creator of all things, He is not a puppet master!

Free will what is it good for, I can think man I would like to see the universe up close and personal with out dieing or the use of a spacecraft, but yet I can not make it happen, I stood by the river and free willed a though "Stop the River From Flowing" it never happened. The only free will we have are society choices, will I accept the world as it is YES or NO, will I accept Jesus as My Savior YES or NO, will I work or be a bum YES or NO, that's all folks

Hi Meat,
No Steve, (referring to your additional details) that was the phrasing of one of your prior outputs not what we have posed. Keep it straight, you are getting your own output confused with our inputs, I fear this may be hopeless. Keep Trying.
An interesting observation still the same. Although this question is back in the line of your prior meaningless rambling and will not likely cause much intelligent discussion. It certainly does not give me pause for the quest of knowledge or understanding. But to hopefully provide you with some continued input,
God, has and does continue to intervene on man's behalf at times.
Stop. Process.
I would not presume to have all knowledge as to why God, any rational man, Bill or Hilary Clinton or even you do what you do. Your output has about as much meaning and thought as the question, Why don't you know everything? It doesn't prove anything, it is based in unreferenced, or for that matter undisclosed assumptions and as such appears as a weak attempt to antagonize rather than to gain credible input.
We know it is hard Steve, I mean Meat. Keep trying,
We love ya!

i disagree. It does act in violation of the free of the other person. God's laws are not something that is turned on or off. Spiritual laws are always in effect for both believer and non believer. To think God wants bad things to happen to the innocent is wrong. However, God will take the sorrow and pain and turn beauty from ashes in the person's heart. The person doing the killing. They will forever live with the consequences of killing. God will save a repentant heart. A true repentent heart will forever live with the knowledge of their sinful act until Christ returns.

Yes - it would impact the attackers free will. I believe that the Lord weeps daily as He watches his children hurt each other every day. But He can't intervene as that would take away our free will.

No human can understand the wisdom of God. He allows bad things to happen for a reason, and sometimes we humans get irate at Him, because we just don't understand why this is happening.

God has saved many because it wasn't their time to go. Have you ever heard of near death experiences? That was God saving their lives.

Why would he? God doesn't play favorites. It rains on the good and the bad.
Fortune happens for the good and the bad.
Misfortune happens for the good and the bad.
That's the way it is for now.

Because in fairness to everyone God would have to intervene every nanosecond.
ONLY SOMEONE BLIND TO TRUTH WOULD ASK SUCH A QUESTION

This interferes with the victims free will.
