God is this All powerful being that has the power and ability to create life, make an entire universe, and Raise the dead.

But when it comes to the Ebola Virus IT can only bother to lift a finger to save two people?

As I said, IF a god had anything to do with this Dr's life being saved, why did scientists need to waste all that time trying to find a proper treatment? Why not just let a god do it?

Giving credit to A god negates the need for human intervention.

Let's say that Dr. was left to die in the hot African Desert, then some how became completely healed. Maybe then a god did it, however, the question would still be asked WHY SAVE ONLY his life?

And which god should get the credit the continent of Africa is filled with many gods why is it that the Christian god is the one that seems to be getting the credit, maybe it was allah
