if God is the creator and ruler of the universe - that would mean he wuould do trillion things each second! give life take life , make a certain leaf grow one way another another way ,while he causes an bycicle crash in Amsterdam and a lion kills a gazelle in Africa due to his wish! that just isnt logical! and he is doing all this simultaneously! sorry but that is beyond a fairy tale , lies or any other concept of realistic thought process!
can you please explain!
AND DO NOT CUT PASTE OR JUST BLABBER OFF SOME BIBLE VERSE! this question is way beyond bible !

He'd be one hell of a multi-tasker.
Too bad he's a myth.

I understand where you are coming from, and it is hard to imagine something so BIG or so powerful as God. As humans we seem to see things in a certain perspective, we assume there HAS to be a begining and an End to everything, because we live and die. But God exists outside of our "time", same as the universe (or outer space or however you want to say it) is never ending. How do we wrap our brains around that? We have no basis for comparison, and so we can't truly imagine it.
As for God, He is the creator, but that does not mean that every millisecond He is controling everything. It is like a person building a computer, there are many things it can do on it's own without the builders input. God granted us free will and so we are not puppets on a string that He plays with.
He does not make a lion kill a gazelle each time it does, but He "designed" the Lion to hunt for it's food.

Here's a logical task for you. Is there a god as described by theism? Can you use logic to prove its existence? If you truly could, you should not only post it, but bring it to the attention of the world, because in the entire history of Christianity, despite centuries of attempts, there has still not been an argument has actually been successful on this point. You'd have quite a bit of international acclaim.
(That's right: none. Zip, zero, null...every single argument, relying solely on the laws of logic, has ended in failure).
The only way to end up proving that there's a god who, as you put it, is a PHENOMENAL multi-tasker is to have faith somewhere along the line. By faith, I mean: believing in something despite having no evidence to think in the object of your faith. Being logical would give you answers and inferences to accepting the evidence of certain things; by its very nature, logic will not lead you to faith. Therefore, to hold faith in something is to be illogical.
The question then becomes, which do you think is the better way to live? Belief in the things unseen, or the acceptance of only those things you can rationally uncover? That's where you're very correct that "this question is way beyond bible !"

God created the world and then said " It is good". Then he created man and put him in-charge of the world and the animals. So man is at fault for much of the chaos that has occurred.
God is a the example of killing two birds with one stone. But instead of two he works out billions and billions of things at a time.
If a super computer is capable of multitasking millions of bytes a second, then why can't God be s super God that can handle much more than a super computer. God is not time restrained like we are. So when you know the beginning and the end it is easy to fill in the middle.

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make [[[man]]] in our image, after our likeness: and let them have [[[dominion]]] over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Man has the dominion !!!
How can you explain infinity, or eternal time, or eternal space, and yet we know that it exists, because if space has an ending then what is on the other side. Man is finite!, God is infinite!

And the countless billions of other things that are happening simultaneously, it leads me to believe that anything can happen and we are alone on this rock

God is a mighty God and he can do many things at once. You have to have faith and know that God is a miracle worker and He can do all things.

He doesn't control every little thing that happens. He has created this world, and He lets it, for the most part, run on it's own.
When I sneeze, did God cause it? Most likely not, it was cause something irritated my nose....

Your opinion of course and that is your right. I believe differently and I see no actual question to answer. Try asking a great artist why he chooses what he chooses. Ask a composer why he composes as he does? Their logic will not be your logic.

your right because if God was an all creater he would have a hard time choosing which or who got in to heave or went to hell. some people need some thing to look towards or to pray to . so they choose to believe in a god
