No I don’t think he will stop the way the world works.

Wouldn't it just makes sense for GOD to...
by confusedandalone injust one day perform some form of miracle in front of the entire earth in which he proves he exists???.
wouldn't this be the most loving and sensible thing to do?
for instance, this coming thursday god repeatedly strikes mount kilamanjaro to the point that it reads in hebrew, "god exists, i just did this.

I don’t think the universe will last forever. The earthquakes will stop when the earth dies but humans will be long gone by then I suspect. However the way I look at it is that no one goes through more than 80, more or less years of this life, and no one suffers for two or more people. Our own joy or pain is experienced by us alone and that is the same for anyone who ever lived, and for a limited period of time. People often pick out big disasters as though somehow they are worse than a single death, but the death of an individual is only ever experienced by one, no matter how many or few others die at the same time.

I’ve never said he cannot do so. I did say that all those healed got ill again, and all those resurrected died again. Death is the inevitable end to all life in a universe such as the one we live in. All those who died in accidents, disasters, illnesses and so on are no different from the rest of us, who will be dead after a few short years of life. Every generation dies and that is a good thing when you consider what would happen if no one died, but the problem is that human ideas of good and bad are extremely limited and tend not to take into account that this universe is not all there is. We create good and bad but God is beyond those limited partial concepts. Miracles were never meant to solve mankind’s problems but champion hope is something beyond.

If you’re omniscient Comatose then you can bring the kid back from death with the added experience such an accident would give the kid if it survived. Death would merely be a learning experience.

Confusedandalone I cannot give you proof because proof only applies to mathematics. I can give you evidence however, but you would probably choose any possible interpretation except ones that involve outside supernatural intelligences.
I can’t speak to the silliness of the WTs interpretation of biblical writings with their over literal reading when it comes to sitting under a vine.
Your point about minimum risk is an interesting one. I suspect though that most people would, when thinking a bit deeper than people normally do, about what it would mean to live in a world without any risk at all, would not want to live in such a world. Without lack what would gain mean? Without risk where would bravery and safety fit in? Where would any meaning be in this world if those things were banished? When would parents ever let the control level decrease over their kids if minimum risk is paramount to the exclusion of all other concerns, including the kids growing up to have their own sometime.
When it comes to death not being the end I don’t get that from the bible but other sources of information, like people I know and other sources. Of course if you don’t believe it, that is fine, but I have good reasons for believing myself.

Would you take a childs ability to run in front of a car away and if so how about an adults?

Delusional to you maybe but it does have the virtue of being quite logical.

The two main forces in the universe are order and entropy, creation and destruction. God can inject instances of both from outside such a system and does so quite often. One hears anecdotal reports of this all the time. However if God were to do so all the time we would have no freedom. A parent whose child is allowed out to play knows there is risk involved, but the responsible parents do not attempt to remove the risk by denying the necessary freedom of freedom and never letting them out. To remove risk harms! On the other hand a good parent also doesn’t control every action of the child while it is playing outside with its friends, as that also would destroy its freedom. On a grander cosmic level of God and us, the same is true, even to the point of death, as God knows death is not the end anyway.

He could stop it if he wanted but then he would have to stop all earthquakes. Tectonic movement would have to be stopped, then erosion, volcanoes, carbon cycles, water cycles, and so on. Then everyone would die or never be born.

I would tell you the answer Cofty but I am sure you know enough about geology to work it out on your own.
